Abstract :
Based on the relationship between charge dimensionality and singular field behavior, it is proven that in a volumetric description of a volume current carrying topology, half rooftops of different binary hierarchical level are allowed without introducing numerical difficulties. This opens the possibility to use a very efficient multi-level hierarchical meshing scheme in a Volumetric Method of Moments (MoM) algorithm.
