The book is a comprehensive discussion of the most advanced time-domain modelling methods and applications in electromagnetics and electrical engineering. It provides guidelines about why some choices must be made among the principal modelling approaches and then discusses numerical and analytical methods, and applications.
Time domain modelling is a fascinating world which brings together several complex phenomena and methods of essential interest to engineers. This book is a reference guide which discusses the most advanced time-domain modelling methods and applications in electromagnetics and electrical engineering.
The book starts by clearly explaining why time-domain modelling may be worth doing; then, it provides guidelines about why some choices must be made among the principal modelling approaches and next guides the reader through the state of the art in time domain modelling, concerning either numerical and analytical methods, and applications. Finally, it highlights areas for future time-domain modelling research.
The book is a collection of chapters written by leading research groups in the fields, following a logical development set out by the editor.
Topics covered include finite element methods in time domain with applications to low-frequency problems; transient analysis of scattering from composite objects using late-time stable TDIEs; the transmission-line modelling method, partial element equivalent circuit method in time-domain; unconditionally stable time-domain methods; time-domain linear macromodelling, analytical techniques for transient analysis; the application of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique to lightning studies; modelling of lightning and its interaction with overhead conductors; transient behaviour of grounding systems; and statistics of electromagnetic reverberation chambers and their simulation through time domain modelling.
