Edge-Based Finite Elements and Vector ABCs Applied to 3D Scattering

by National Aeronautics and Space Administration

An edge based finite element formulation with vector absorbing boundary conditions is presented for scattering by composite structures having boundaries satisfying impedance and/or transition conditions. Remarkably accurate results are obtained by placing the mesh a small fraction of a wavelength away from the scatterer. Chatterjee, A. and Jin, J. M. and Volakis, John L.
