A Stable SBP-SAT FDTD Subgridding Method Without Region Split
Abstract
A provably stable summation-by-parts simultaneous approximation term (SBP-SAT) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) subgridding method without region split is proposed. By designing projection SBP operators tailored for embedded topological features and deriving the corresponding SAT boundary conditions, this approach guarantees long-time stability through discrete energy analysis. Unlike conventional SBP-SAT FDTD subgridding techniques that rely on aligned or multi-block configurations, the proposed method enables a direct coupling between an internal refined region and a single surrounding coarse-grid domain without introducing auxiliary blocks or causing domain fragmentation. Numerical results validate the efficiency, accuracy, and topological flexibility of the proposed method. Compared with existing multi-block SBP-SAT methods, this method effectively reduces computational complexity by minimizing SAT boundary conditions and improves calculation accuracy near grid interfaces.
