© 2021 IEEE.We present a full-wave electromagnetic solver for analyzing multiscale scattering problems with highly nonuniform discretizations. The developed solver employs an elegant combination of potential integral equations (PIEs) with the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) to improve the iterative convergence properties of matrix equations obtained via method of moments, especially derived from highly nonuniform discretizations for which PIEs suffer from ill conditioning. A mixed-form multilevel fast multipole algorithm with incomplete tree structures is employed to efficiently and accurately solve the obtained matrix equations. The solver circumvents the well-known low-frequency problem originating from the breakdown of the conventional surface formulations and the standard MLFMA for highly nonuniform discretizations. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed solver are demonstrated on canonical but challenging scattering problems.

Fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving lossy dielectric objects with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-03-01) Fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetic scattering problems involving lossy dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with two recently developed formulations, namely, the combined-tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE), and solved iteratively using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Iterative solutions and accuracy of the results are investigated in detail for diverse geometries, frequencies, and con...
Accurate solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with surface integral equations Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-11-16) We present the stabilization of the surface integral equationsfor accurate solutions of scattering problems involvinglow-contrast dielectric objects. Unlike volume formulations,conventional surface formulations fail to provide accurateresults for the scatteredfields when the contrast of theobject is small. Therefore, surface formulations are requiredto be stabilized by extracting the nonradiating parts of theequivalent currents. In addition to previous strategies forthe stabilization, we introduce a n...
Comparison of Integral-Equation Formulations for the Fast and Accurate Solution of Scattering Problems Involving Dielectric Objects with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-01-01) We consider fast and accurate solutions of scattering problems involving increasingly large dielectric objects formulated by surface integral equations. We compare various formulations when the objects are discretized with Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions, and the resulting matrix equations are solved iteratively by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For large problems, we show that a combined-field formulation, namely, the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (...
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...
A new differential formulation of acoustic scattering by rotationally symmetrical penetrable scatterers Günalp, Nilgün; TOSUN, H (1994-07-01) A new differential formulation is presented for acoustic wave scattering from rotationally symmetric penetrable bodies. The numerical implementation of this formulation is fairly simple, and comprises basically the construction of the state-transition matrix of a system of differential equations and the solution of a matrix equation. The validity and the accuracy of the numerical scheme are tested considering objects of known scattering behavior. Other numerical applications are also presented to demonstrat...
