Domain Decomposition Methos in Electromagnetic Field Simulations
Different applications of domain decomposition method have a long history in computational science. The reason for employing the substructuring technique was the small memory of computers. To solve large scale problems, a domain has been divided into subdomains that fit into the computer memory. However, the computer memory grows, the demand for solution of large real life problems is always ahead of computer capabilities. The large scale computations and simulations performed with finite element method (FEM) often require very long computation time. While limited progress can be reached with improvement of numerical algorithms, a radical time reduction can be made with multiprocessor computation. In order to perform finite element analysis a computer with parallel processors, computations should be distributed across processors.
