Abstract :
This contribution describes research undertaken into a new finite-difference implementation of the equations of electromagnetism which is designed to facilitate the inclusion of static field solutions for the treatment of curved conducting surfaces. The new method´s derivation is shown, the theory behind the use of the static field solutions in the algorithm is outlined and modelled results for a typical curved structure are compared to those produced analytically.
