An unstructured grid-based parallel solver for time-domain Maxwell's equations

Computational simulation of complex physical processes encountered in the design of advanced defense and commercial products increasingly requires modeling the complete three-dimensional geometrical details with tens of millions of grid cells to properly capture the physics. Advances in parallel computing, both in hardware and software, now make it feasible to solve such large scale simulations in a timely manner. The paper describes some of the work carried out at Rockwell in performing parallel computing in computational electromagnetics.
