Need a help at computational electromagnetics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on challenges faced in implementing the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method for numerical electromagnetics, particularly regarding the definition of electric and magnetic fields at different time intervals. The user seeks clarification on the expression for the magnetic field, which appears complex and is linked to the electric field function g(t). It is noted that the magnetic field is defined at a half-time step later than the electric field, introducing a propagation delay that must be small relative to the time step for stability. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the grid's spatial and temporal separation in the FDTD algorithm. Overall, the user is looking for assistance in comprehending the mathematical representation of the magnetic field in relation to the electric field source term.

Hi dears

I study numerical electromagnetics , especially FDTD method , i reached to the point at where i introduce my sources then i get an understanding problem .. at this method ( as in the attached photo ) the electric field is defined at time (t) and magnetic field at (t+dt/2) and there is a space separation between them equals half of the cell .. so the electric field function is defined as g(t) and but magnetic field take that messy expression as in the picture can anyone help me how we got this expression ..

I'm guessing only the drive term (at a point in the grid?) in the FDTD algorithm is being shown in the image. The grid is in space and time. Looks like they've included the propagation delay in ##g(t)## source term for the neighboring ##H##-field point. For the FDTD algorithm to be stable, this time delay needs to be very small in comparison to ##\frac{\Delta t}{c}##.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
