Fast and accurate solutions of extremely large electromagnetics problems are considered. Surface formulations of large-scale objects lead to dense matrix equations involving millions of unknowns. Thanks to the recent developments in parallel algorithms and high-performance computers, these problems can easily be solved with unprecedented levels of accuracy and detail. For example, using a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), we are able to solve electromagnetics problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. Unfortunately, as the problem size grows, it becomes difficult to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the solutions, especially for the comparison of different implementations. This paper presents our efforts on the solution of extremely large electromagnetics problems with the emphasis on the accuracy and efficiency. We present a list of benchmark problems, which can be used

Rigorous solutions of large-scale dielectric problems with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-08-20) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving three-dimensional homogeneous dielectric objects. Problems are formulated rigorously with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). In order to solve large-scale problems, MLFMA is parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures using the hierarchical partitioning strategy. Efficiency and accuracy...
Solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving dielectric objects with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-11-01) Fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving homogeneous dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation and discretized with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions. Solutions are performed iteratively by using the multi-level fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For the solution of large-scale problems discretized with millions of unknowns, MLFMA is parallelized on distributed-memory architectures us...
Hybridizing physical optics with MLFMA for efficient scattering computations of three-dimensional complex targets Manyas, Alp; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Gürel, Levent (2009-07-23) The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) provides accurate and efficient solutions of electromagnetic scattering problems involving large and complicated structures. On the other hand, whenever applicable, accelerations provided by approximation techniques can be useful to further improve the efficiency of solutions. In this paper, we present a hybrid technique, which combines the physical-optics (PO) method and MLFMA for efficient scattering computations of three-dimensional objects. We show that, w...
An efficient parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm for rigorous solutions of large-scale scattering problems Ergül, Özgür Salih (2010-08-19) We present the solution of large-scale scattering problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is parallelized using the hierarchical partitioning strategy on distributed-memory architectures. Optimizations and load-balancing algorithms are extensively used to improve parallel MLFMA solutions. The resulting implementation is successfully employed on modest parallel computers to solve scattering problems involving metallic objects larger than 100...
Fault detection and diagnosis in nonlinear dynamical systems Kılıç, Erdal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The aim of this study is to solve Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) problems occurring in nonlinear dynamical systems by using model and knowledge-based FDD methods and to give a priority and a degree about faults. For this purpose, three model-based FDD approaches, called FDD by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA), system identification based FDD and inverse model based FDD are introduced. Performances of these approaches are tested on different nonlinear dynamical systems starting from simple t...
