Efficient parallel LOD-FDTD method for Debye-dispersive media Hemmi, Tadashi Costen, Fumie González García, Salvador Mehshan, Mustafa Himeno, Ryutaro Yokota, Hideo Distributed memory systems Electromagnetic fields Electromagnetic propagation in dispersive media Finite-difference methods Numerical analysis Parallel programming Time-domain analysis The locally one-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (LOD-FDTD) method is a promising implicit technique for solving Maxwell’s equations in numerical electromagnetics. Thispaper describes an efficient message passing interface (MPI)-parallel implementation of the LOD-FDTD method for Debye-dispersive media. Its computational efficiency is demonstrated to be superior to that of the parallel ADI-FDTD method. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed parallel algorithm in the simulation of a bio-electromagnetic problem: the deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the human body. 2018-04-10T09:46:17Z 2018-04-10T09:46:17Z 2014 journal article Hemmi, Tadashi; et al.
