Description
Summary:Nonconformal nonoverlapping domain decomposition method (DDM) with mixed basis functions is presented to realize fast integral equation solution of electromagnetic scattering of multiscale objects. The original multiscale objects are decomposed into several closed subdomains. The higher order hierarchical vector basis functions are used in the electrically large smooth subdomains to significantly reduce the number of unknowns, while traditional Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions are used for subdomains with tiny structures. A well-posed matrix is successfully derived by the present DDM. Besides, the nonconformal property of DDM allows flexible mesh generation for complicated objects. Numerical results are presented to validate the proposed method and illustrate its advantages.
