Abstract
Since the cloaked object of the external cloaking device is outside the device, it is not affected by the space of the device and does not need to be wrapped with special materials, so the external cloaking device is of important research value. In this paper, a time-domain mathematical model of a cylindrical external cloaking device is constructed based on optical coordinate transformation and Lorentz dispersion model, and an unconditionally stable time-domain finite element scheme is developed to simulate the electromagnetic wave propagation in the external cloak by using a combination of the Leapfrog-ADI method and the finite element method, and the unconditional stability of the method is proved. The time-domain numerical simulations validate our theoretical analysis of the time-domain external cloaking device model and the effectiveness of the FETD method. For different incident wave irradiation, the external cloak shows different operating states, and the scattering direction maps and scattering power at different moments verify the scattering of electromagnetic field during the whole process.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
