Computational electromagnetics

Case studies

The following pages describe the basics of computational electromagnetics, starting with relevant derivations and the basics of classical electromagnetism. The subpages include case studies with analytical solutions if they exist and numerical solutions.

• Triple dielectric step in 1D
• Photonic crystal in 1D
• Scattering from an infinite cylinder
• Point source near an anisotropic lens

Classical electromagnetism

Classical electrodynamics is historically one of the most eminent fields of physics, as an extension of classical mechanics, it is very successful in explaining a plethora of phenomena. The dynamics of electric and magnetic fields are described with Maxwell's equations
