Abstract

We present a time-domain solution to 2D TM/TE electromagnetic scattering problems using the finite element method. We implement Barry-Bielak-MacCamy (BBM) time and space local absorbing conditions (proposed in 1988) on a curved convex truncated domain boundary. The BBM boundary conditions, which encompass the popular Bayliss-Turkle mode annihilating boundary conditions and Kriegsmann on-surface boundary conditions, yield symmetric second order systems, which are then integrated using Newmark´s schemes. Numerical examples are provided and validated against published data. The method can be in principle extended to 3D transient scattering
