✦ Synopsis

Computational Electromagnetics in the Time-Domain (CEM-TD)

The advent of powerful computers and their widespread introduction into the market place, in parallel with the development of algorithms and models for electromagnetic problems have brought about major changes in the way we study and visualise electromagnetic interactions. Working in the time-domain it is now possible to establish a numerical laboratory with unparalleled access to diagnostics and visualization of developing complex phenomena.

The present issue is a selection of papers presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Computational Electromagnetics in the Time Domain: TLM/FDTD and Related Techniques-CEM TD, held at the University of Nottingham, 17-19 September 2001. The paper by Paul et al. addresses the important area of modelling materials with general properties in the time-domain. Spachmann et al., look at the problems encountered when implementing higher-order schemes. The following three papers by Aygun et al., Walker et al., and Edelvik and Ledfelt are focused on advances in the solution of complex problems. A major area of concern in CEM TD is the treatment of fine features in an otherwise coarsely meshed problem. Papers by Choong et al., Ledfelt, Wittig et al., Railton and Paul, Feliziani and Maradei, make contributions in this area. Finally, two papers by Lim et al., Bernardi et al., address the important application area of modelling field interactions with biological materials.
