A hybrid DGTD-TDIE method for solving complex electromagnetic problems by Gao, S. P., Cao, Q. S., Zhu, M., Lu, Y. L., Ding, Jun

“…The Huygens equivalence principle is employed to divide the original problem into two subproblems: (1) the region containing the thin wires, which is calculated by using the TDIE method, and (2) the dielectric region modeled by unstructured grids and analyzed by the DGTD method. A time-stepping scheme is used to match the different time steps between the DGTD and TDIE methods. …”
