A Surface Integral Formulation for Scattering Modeling by 2D Penetrable Objects
In this paper, we proposed a single-source surface integral formulation to accurately solve the scattering problems by 2D penetrable objects. In this method, the objects are replaced by their surrounding medium through enforcing a surface equivalent electric current to ensure fields exactly the same as those in the original scattering problem. The equivalent electric current is obtained through emitting the equivalent magnetic current by enforcing that the electric fields in the original and equivalent problems equal to each other. Through solving the Helmholtz equation inside objects by the scalar second Green theorem, we could accurately model arbitrarily shaped objects. Then, we solve the exterior scattering problems through the combined integral equation (CFIE) with the equivalent electric current. The proposed formulation only requires a single electric current source to model penetrable objects. At last, two numerical experiments are carried out to validate its accuracy, stability and capability of handling non-smoothing objects.
