MAXWELL WAVE — FDTD

Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulation of EM waves — click to place source

FDTD (Yee 1966): staggered E and H fields updated alternately in time. ∂Ez/∂t = (1/ε)(∂Hy/∂x − ∂Hx/∂y)   ∂H/∂t = −(1/μ)∇×E. Courant condition: c·Δt/Δx ≤ 1/√2 for stability. Click to add point source; Add Wall draws reflectors.
