The choice betweenĪ collocated and a staggered formulation is application-dependent. Them from the collocated to the staggered locations. Of the field components by the appropriate phase factors to shift They can also be easily recast on a staggered Yee grid by multiplication The PSATD and PSTD formulations that were just given apply to theįield components located at the nodes of the grid. The electromagnetic fields are solved on a grid, usually using Maxwell’s In the electromagnetic particle-in-cell method (Birdsall and Langdon 1991), smoothing/filtering of the charge/current densities and/or fields on the grid).

absorption/emission of particles, addition of external forces to account for accelerator focusing or accelerating component) or numerical effects (e.g. Additional “add-ons” operations are inserted between these core operations to account for additional physics (e.g. The core PIC algorithm involves four operations at each time step: 1) evolve the velocity and position of the particles using the Newton-Lorentz equations, 2) deposit the charge and/or current densities through interpolation from the particles distributions onto the grid, 3) evolve Maxwell’s wave equations (for electromagnetic) or solve Poisson’s equation (for electrostatic) on the grid, 4) interpolate the fields from the grid onto the particles for the next particle push. 9 The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method follows the evolution of a collection of charged macro-particles (positively charged in blue on the left plot, negatively charged in red) that evolve self-consistently with their electromagnetic (or electrostatic) fields. Moving window and optimal Lorentz boosted frameįig.Pseudo Spectral Analytical Time Domain (PSATD).When material interface is presented, the diagonal split-cell model does not require permittivity averaging so that better accuracy can be achieved. In the FDTD method, both time- and space-derivatives are approximated with central finite differences. In this paper, we present a nonorthogonal overlapping Yee method for solving Maxwell's equations using the diagonal split-cell model.
