On the solution of a class of large body problems with full or partial circular symmetry by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

This paper presents an efficient method to accurately solve large body scattering problems with partial circular symmetry. The method effectively reduces the computational domain from three to two dimensions by using the reciprocity theorem. It does so by dividing the problem into two parts: a large...
