Abstract
The 2-D/3-D hybrid discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method is efficient to deal with structures that contain elements capable of 2-D simplification. To separate 2-D elements from 3-D ones, a criterion for approximation error manipulation is required. However, in the latest reported technique, this kind of criterion is derived from the causality principle and the Courant-Freidrichs-Lewy constraint, and thus is indirect and inessential to 2-D simplification. As a result, some elements capable of 2-D simplification are unnecessarily flagged as 3-D ones, deteriorating efficiency dramatically. Moreover, controlling absolute error, the traditional criterion is not flexible for structures with complex mode distribution. In this paper, a novel criterion is proposed. Compared with the traditional one, this new criterion controls comparative error instead of absolute error, thus enhancing accuracy and flexibility. Besides, for the time-adaptive updating algorithm, the proposed criterion is derived directly from the discretized matrix equations of the DGTD method, rendering it straightforward and efficient. Finally, the 2-D/3-D DGTD with the proposed criterion is integrated with the modified nodal analysis technique for the analysis of power-ground plate pairs with decoupling capacitors. The accuracy, flexibility, and efficiency enhancement of the proposed criterion are demonstrated by comparison with commercial software and the traditional method.
