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, is important too. The aspect ratio in this paper is taken into account while studying the accuracy in a single element by utilizing the Green’s function. In addition, the scalar field scattered by a circular cylinder placed in front of an incident plane wave is solved after truncating the domain by perfectly matched layer. Numerical results show that one should carefully discretize the problem and keeping the aspect ratio close to unity as much as possible to guarantee accurate results.

On the Accuracy and Efficiency of Surface Formulations in Fast Analysis of Plasmonic Structures via MLFMA
Karaosmanoglu, B.; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-08-11)
We consider the accuracy and efficiency of surface integral equations, when they are used to formulate electromagnetic problems involving plasmonic objects at optical frequencies. Investigations on the iterative solutions of scattering problems with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm show that the conventional formulations, especially the state-of-the-art integral equations, can significantly be inaccurate, in contrast to their performances for ordinary dielectrics. The varying performances of the form...
On the accuracy of MFIE and CFIE in the solution of large electromagnetic scattering problems
Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2006-11-10)
We present the linear-linear (LL) basis functions to improve the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems involving large scatterers. MFIE and CFIE with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions are significantly inaccurate even for large and smooth geometries, such as a sphere, compared to the solutions by the electric-field integral equation (EFIE). By using the LL funct...
Improving the accuracy of the surface integral equations for low-contrast dielectric scatterers
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-06-15)
Solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects are considered by employing surface integral equations. A stabilization procedure based on extracting the non-radiating part of the induced currents is applied so that the remaining radiating currents can be modelled appropriately and the scattered fields from the low-contrast objects can be calculated with improved accuracy. Stabilization is applied to both tangential (T) and normal (N) formulations in order to use the benefits of d...
Accuracy of the Surface Integral-equation Formulations for Large Negative Permittivity Values
Karaosmanoglu, B.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-05-25)
Computational solutions of plasmonic problems involving metals at optical frequencies formulated with surface integral equations are considered. Numerical inaccuracies arise when using the conventional formulations for penetrable bodies, especially as the negative real permittivity becomes very large at the lower frequencies of the optical spectrum. In order to close the gap between plasmonic and perfectly conducting simulations, it is required to extend the applicability of surface integral equations to in...
