Detailed Description

template<typename EMField, typename SourceField, fdtd_bc boundary_conditions = periodic>
class ippl::NonStandardFDTDSolver< EMField, SourceField, boundary_conditions >

A solver for Maxwell's equations using a non-standard Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method.

source	The source field.
E	The electric field.
B	The magnetic field.

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

template<typename EMField , typename SourceField , fdtd_bc boundary_conditions>

void ippl::NonStandardFDTDSolver< EMField, SourceField, boundary_conditions >::initialize ( )

overridevirtual

Initializes the solver.

This function initializes the solver by setting up the layout, mesh, and fields. It retrieves the mesh spacing, domain, and mesh size, and initializes the fields to zero.

Implements ippl::FDTDSolverBase< EMField, SourceField, boundary_conditions >.

step()

template<typename EMField , typename SourceField , fdtd_bc boundary_conditions>

void ippl::NonStandardFDTDSolver< EMField, SourceField, boundary_conditions >::step ( )

overridevirtual

Advances the simulation by one time step.

This function updates the fields by one time step using non-standard FDTD method. It calculates the new field values based on the current and previous field values, as well as the source field. The boundary conditions are applied after the update.

Implements ippl::FDTDSolverBase< EMField, SourceField, boundary_conditions >.
