Subject: Special Issue on Computational Electromagnetics
CALL FOR PAPERS
Focused Issue of International Journal of Numerical Modelling (Electronic
Networks, Devices and Fields): on Absorbing Boundary Conditions for
Computational Electromagnetics
Absorbing Boundary Conditions (ABC's) are necessary for the numerical solution
of electromagnetic problems formulated on unbounded regions. They are imposed
at the outer edge of the finite-sized computational domain obtained from the
original unbounded domain by truncation. Their main function is to absorb all
waves propagating away from the region of interest while providing boundary
values to complete the interior scheme on the computational domain boundary.
Continuing improvements in the local error of numerical methods have made it
clear that the overall accuracy of a numerical solution of Maxwell's equations
now hinges on the quality of the ABC.
The exact ABC's for frequency- and time-domain problems are nonlocal in space
and time. Local ABC's derived by approximating the exact conditions have been
extensively researched and used ever since the seminal works of Engquist &
Majda (1977) and Bayliss & Turkel (1980). The recent introduction by Berenger
(1994) of the concept of a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) has shifted the
interest of the Computational Electromagnetics community from local ABC's to
wave absorbing layers for computational domain truncation. Indicative of its
success, the literature on PML is already extensive. This new approach offers
many orders of magnitude reduction of artificial wave reflection over that
afforded by the most successful local ABC's. At the same time, the Applied
Mathematics community has been developing rigorous error analysis and fast
techniques for the implementation of high-order local and exact ABC's thus
removing the main objection against them, i.e., prohibitive computational
overhead.
This issue will focus on progress and new developments in the following
general areas:
* Local ABC's for CEM
* Exact ABC's for separable geometries
* Perfectly matched layers as ABC's for separable geometries
* Optimization of the PML
* Error analysis of ABC's and the PML
* ABC's and PML's for arbitrary curvilinear coordinate systems
Papers on these topics are now sought for this Focused Issue. Review papers
will be welcome, as will papers containing original contributions. Authors are
invited to submit four copies of manuscripts to:

Subject: New Book, Incompressible Flow and the Finite Element Method
New Book Announcement:
Incompressible Flow and the Finite Element Method, by
Philip Gresho (UC Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and
Robert Sani (University of Colorado), in collaboration with
Michael Engelman (Fluid Dynamics International),
1998, John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0-471-96789-0.
Hard cover, 1040 pages. List price $295.
This comprehensive reference work deals with the important details in
the application of the finite element method to incompressible flows.
It addresses the theoretical background and the detailed development
of appropriate numerical methods applied to the solution of a wide
range of incompressible flows. A lucid explanation of the FEM is
combined with extensive coverage of the prototypical fluid mechanics
equation: the advection-diffusion equation. For both this equation
and the equations of principal interest -- the Navier-Stokes equations
-- detailed discussion of both the continuous and discrete equations
is presented, as well as explanations of how to properly march the
time-dependent equations using smart implicit methods. Presentations
of both ODE and DAE solution methods have benefitted from the
significant help of Alan Hindmarsh (LLNL). Boundary and initial
conditions, so important in applications, are carefully described and
discussed, including well-posedness. The important role played by the
pressure, so confusing in the past, is carefully explained.
This book explains and emphasizes consistency in six areas:
* consistent mass matrix
* consistent pressure Poisson equation
* consistent penalty methods
* consistent normal direction
* consistent heat flux
* consistent forces
Fully indexed and referenced, this book is an essential reference tool
for all researchers, students, and applied scientists in incompressible
fluid mechanics.
