The coordinate transformation technique (with its current name of transformation electromagnetics) is applied to the finite-element method (FEM) with periodic boundary conditions for efficient Monte Carlo simulation of one-dimensional random rough surface scattering problems. In a unit cell of periodic structure, two coordinate transformations are used, one of which is a real transformation designed to model the rough surface with flat surface, and the other is a complex transformation used to design a perfectly matched layer for mesh truncation. The approach is easily implementable because only the nodal coordinates are replaced by the transformed coordinates in a standard FEM. Since a simple and single mesh with flat surface is used, Monte Carlo simulations are performed in an efficient manner. Numerical results are presented for various rms surface heights, correlation lengths, and angles of incidence. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 26:322-329, 2016.

Combining perturbation theory and transformation electromagnetics for finite element solution of Helmholtz-type scattering problems Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2014-10-01) A numerical method is proposed for efficient solution of scattering from objects with weakly perturbed surfaces by combining the perturbation theory, transformation electro-magnetics and the finite element method. A transformation medium layer is designed over the smooth surface, and the material parameters of the medium are determined by means of a coordinate transformation that maps the smooth surface to the perturbed surface. The perturbed fields within the domain are computed by employing the material p...
A Numerical Model for Investigating the Effect of Rough Surface Parameters on Radar Cross Section Statistics Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2017-07-14) Electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces is modeled by combining the periodic finite element method and the transformation electromagnetics approach. The behavior of the radar cross section (RCS) at both specular and backscattering directions is analyzed as a function of rms height and correlation length with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The concept of backscattering enhancement is illustrated, and some conclusions are drawn about the RCS statistics.
Monte Carlo simulations of Helmholtz scattering from randomly positioned array of scatterers by utilizing coordinate transformations in finite element method ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-01) Electromagnetic scattering from randomly distributed array of scatterers is numerically analyzed by Monte Carlo simulations by utilizing coordinate transformations in the context of finite element method solution of Helmholtz equation. The major goal in proposed approaches is to place transformation media into computational domain by employing the form invariance property of Maxwell's equations under coordinate transformations, and hence avoiding repeated mesh generation process in multiple realizations of ...
Modeling Electromagnetic Scattering from Random Array of Objects by Form Invariance of Maxwell's Equations ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-24) Electromagnetic scattering from a random array of objects is modeled by using special coordinate transformations that are based on the form invariance property of Maxwell's equations. The main motivation is to perform multiple realizations of Monte Carlo simulations corresponding to different positions of objects in an efficient way by using a single mesh. This is achieved by locating transformation media within the computational domain. The proposed approach is applied to finite element method and tested b...
Numerical Solution of Multi-scale Electromagnetic Boundary Value Problems by Utilizing Transformation-Based Metamaterials Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2011-06-23) We present numerical solution techniques for efficiently handling multi-scale electromagnetic boundary value problems having fine geometrical details or features, by utilizing spatial coordinate transformations. The principle idea is to modify the computational domain of the finite methods (such as the finite element or finite difference methods) by suitably placing anisotropic metamaterial structures whose material parameters are obtained by coordinate transformations, and hence, to devise easier and effic...
