"Complex-Frequency Shifted PMLs for Maxwell's Equations With Hyperbolic Divergence Cleaning and Their Application in Particle-in-Cell Codes"

by Stephen M. Copplestone, Philip Ortwein, and Claus-Dieter Munz

The simulation of unbounded domains inevitably requires an artificial truncation of the computational domain and spurious reflections resulting from this procedure are a common problem. In this paper, a perfectly matched layer formulation for Maxwell's equations in purely hyperbolic form is presented. The model is applied to standard wave attenuation problems and particle-in-cell simulations of electron beam devices. more...
