4-D Space-Time-Domain Decomposition Simulation of Particle Accelerator Wake Field Based on 3-D Time Domain BEM

Abstract

A time-domain boundary element method (TDBEM) provides one more possibility of potential numerical schemes for a time domain microwave simulation in addition to the finite difference time domain method. However, it is known that the TDBEM requires very large memory of order of 100 GB. As one of the solutions to effective memory reduction, this paper presents a 4-D domain decomposition method for the TDBEM. It is shown that the 4-D domain decomposition method of the TDBEM works well for the effective memory reduction in a particle accelerator wake field analysis.
