Layer-oriented Element Integration Algorithm of Conformal Perfectly Matched Layer

Abstract As an efficient artificial truncating boundary condition, conformal perfectly matched layer (CPML) is a kind of multilayer anisotropic absorbing media. To reduce computing effort of CPML, this article proposes a layer-oriented element integration algorithm. In this algorithm, the relative dielectric constant and permeability are considered as constants for each the very thin monolayer of CPML, and the element integration of multilayer along the normal direction is substituted by the element integration of monolayer. The CPML is divided into multilayer elements, whose element matrixes are evaluated by monolayer integration. Numerical examples show that the layer-oriented element integration algorithm is reliable and the CPML formed with this algorithm possesses high-efficient absorbing performance.
