Although Spectral Element Method (SEM) has been applied in the modeling of boundary value problems of electromagnetics, its usage is not as common as the Finite Element or Finite Difference approaches in this area. It is well-known that the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) approach is a mesh/grid truncation method in scattering or radiation applications where the spatial domain is unbounded. In this paper, the PML approach in the SEM context is investigated in two-dimensional, frequency-domain scattering problems. The main aim of this paper is to provide the PML parameters for obtaining an optimum amount of attenuation in the scattered field per wavelength in the PML region for Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto grids. This approach is extended to the analysis of SEM accuracy in scattering by electrically large objects by taking the free space Green's function as the building block of the scattered field. Numerical results presented in this work demonstrate the ability of achieving a high degree of accuracy of SEM as compared to other finite methods, as well as the successful applicability of the PML in electromagnetic scattering problems in terms of the optimum attenuation factors provided in this work.

Questioning Degree of Accuracy Offered by the Spectral Element Method in Computational Electromagnetics Mahariq, I.; KURT, HAMZA; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-01) In this paper, a comparison amongst the spectral element method (SEM), the finite difference method (FDM), and the first-order finite element method (FEM) is presented. For the sake of consistency, the comparison is carried out on one-dimensional and two-dimensional boundary value problems based on the same measure of error in order to emphasize on the high accuracy gained by the SEM. Then, the deterioration in the accuracy of the SEM due to the elemental deformation is demonstrated. Following this, we try ...
On the use of complex stretching coordinates in generalized finite difference method with applications in inhomogeneous visco-elasto dynamics Korkut, Fuat; Mengi, Yalcin; Tokdemir, Turgut (2022-01-01) In the study, in conjunction with perfectly matched layer (PML) analysis, an approach is proposed for the evaluation of complex derivatives directly in terms of complex stretching coordinates of points in PML. For doing this within the framework of generalized finite difference method (GFDM), a difference equation is formulated and presented, where both the function values and coordinates of data points might be complex. The use of the proposed approach is considered in the analysis of inhomogeneous visco-e...
Near-field performance analysis of locally-conformal perfectly matched absorbers via Monte Carlo simulations Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2007-12-10) In the numerical solution of some boundary value problems by the finite element method (FEM), the unbounded domain must be truncated by an artificial absorbing boundary or layer to have a bounded computational domain. The perfectly matched layer (PML) approach is based on the truncation of the computational domain by a reflectionless artificial layer which absorbs outgoing waves regardless of their frequency and angle of incidence. In this paper, we present the near-field numerical performance analysis of o...
A Modal Superposition Method for the Analysis of Nonlinear Systems Ferhatoglu, Erhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2016-01-28) In the determination of response of nonlinear structures, computational burden is always a major problem even if frequency domain methods are used. One of the methods used to decrease the computational effort is the modal superposition method for nonlinear systems where the modes of the linear system are used in the calculation. However, depending on the type of the nonlinearity, in order to obtain an accurate response, the number of modes retained in the response calculations needs to be increased, which i...
On the Accuracy of Spectral Element Method in Electromagnetic Scattering Problems Mahariq, İbrahim; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2014-12-01) Spectral element method (SEM), which is known of its high accuracy, has been recently applied in solving electromagnetic problems governed by Maxwell’s equations. This paper investigates the accuracy of SEM in twodimensional, frequency-domain electromagnetic scattering problems where Helmholtz equation acts as the governing partial differential equation (PDE). As experience in meshing a problem in finite element method is important to obtain accurate results, the choice of elements in SEM, on the other hand...
