Fast Time-Domain Solution of Dynamic Electromagnetic Problems Based on Sinc Interpolation

Abstract

In time-domain electromagnetic field problems that have a fast time response with sharp field change or need a long time transient process to get the steady-state solution, a large number of time step iterations are required using the classical time-stepping method. A reduced model based on Sinc interpolation is proposed in this work. The accuracy of the proposed method does not depend on the traditional time-domain discretization step but only the number of sampling points. Two numerical examples, namely an electro-quasistatic (EQS) problem and a field-circuit coupled problem, are considered to illustrate the accuracy and performance of the proposed method. It is shown that only a few pre-computed samplings are sufficient to obtain a good performance while comparing with the traditional time-stepping method.
