Improving accuracy of high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for time-domain electromagnetics on curvilinear domains

Abstract

The paper discusses high-order geometrical mapping for handling curvilinear geometries in high-accuracy discontinuous Galerkin simulations for time-domain Maxwell problems. The proposed geometrical mapping is based on a quadratic representation of the curved boundary and on the adaptation of the nodal points inside each curved element. With high-order mapping, numerical fluxes along curved boundaries are computed much more accurately due to the accurate representation of the computational domain. Numerical experiments for two-dimensional and three-dimensional propagation problems demonstrate the applicability and benefits of the proposed high-order geometrical mapping for simulations involving curved domains.
