讲座题目： Surface impedance boundary conditions (SIBCs) in computational electromagnetics

主讲人：Nathan Ida（IEEE Life Fellow）

报告简介：

This talk discusses the general concept of Surface Impedance Boundary  Condition (SIBC) and the role it plays in computational electromagnetics. Issues of derivation, implementation and applications of SIBCs in the time- and frequency-domains are discussed. Starting from the plane wave approximation and a comprehensive approach based on perturbation methods leads to SIBCs of desired order of approximation as well as systematic implementation within existing formulations for linear and nonlinear media. Formulations include FEM, FDTD, FIT and BEM but particular emphasis is on FEM and the issues associated with its implementation. Representative examples for implementation are given to point out its utility and generality. The methods described are specifically designed for low penetration applications at low frequency and are hence particularly well suited for electrical power devices although they can be used in lossy dielectrics as well and at high frequencies. The issue of errors and error estimation are given particular importance and a general method for estimating the errors and suitability of SIBCs for particular problems is discussed through a general method for a-priory decision and selection of the necessary order of estimation. Although much of the discussion is for linear media, the initial extension of SIBCs to nonlinear media is also introduced.
