hi

i m just a beginner and studing fdtd from last couple of days. i have concepts of maxwell equations.

anybody plz tell me what may be the sequenvce of steps those leads me to understand the basics fdtd concepts. i hope somebody will get my problem.

thaks in advance

see methods of electromagnetics by Sadiku, i think it has solution of wave equation using FDTD

U can also search "TOYFDTD" in the forum u will get very good quality of FDTD code written both in C and Fortran

Hi

Sadiku's bok title is "Numerical techniques in Electromagnetics".
For a beginner, "Electomagnetic Simulation using FDTD Method" by sullivan is good. It has plenty of C codes, but some of them may not work (u should modify)
Kunz & Luebbers book "The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics is also good". It has a very good fortran implementation.

All these books are available in the e-books section for download.

best regards

Added after 6 minutes:

The best tutorial on FDTD that I had seen is Prof. J Schneider's course notes. Other good course notes are by Prof. Stephen Gedney and Prof. Dennis M Prather.
You can search the net to find these course materials
But the best ever book on FDTD is Taflove's Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite Difference Time Domain Method.
