Abstract

Domain decomposition methods can effectively solve electromagnetic scattering problems induced by multiscale perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) objects. However, boundary conditions between adjacent subdomains usually need to be carefully treated, especially when nonconformal meshes exist. To mitigate this issue, an iterative nonconformal domain decomposition surface integral equation (IDD-SIE) formulation is proposed. Each subdomain is independently solved with scattering fields generated from other subdomains as additional excitations. The continuity of current densities across touching interfaces is guaranteed by iteratively solving coupled fields among subdomains. Therefore, troublesome boundary transmission conditions can be avoided and nonconformal meshes are intrinsically supported. Numerical results show that the proposed IDD-SIE formulation is accurate and efficient, and has excellent convergent properties in terms of iteration numbers.
