Summary on Grant Application Form
Current finite element based unstructured grid solutional algorthms in computational electromagnetics generally employ low order standard finite element for the spatial discretisation have no associated a posteriori error estimators. As the wavenumber increases, dispersionand phase error quickly becomes a major problem withthese algorithms and the mesh requirements can be excessive. In addition, spurious solutions are often present and can pollute the computed results. With this issue in mind, this project aims to investigate the applicability, stability, efficiency and usefulness of a solution approach in which the spatial discretisation is accomplished via hp-edge elements. A posteriori error estimators will be developed to enable a quantitative assessment of the accuracy achieved and guild an adaptive so,lution proceedure. The computer code which will be producedto encompass this technology will be compared, in terms of both accuracy attained and computational efficiency, with other codes which are currently employed in the academic and industrial environment.
