  • Abstract
    The alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme has been successfully applied to the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to achieve an unconditionally stable algorithm. The ADI-FDTD method is extended to the curvilinear co-ordinate system to form an alternating direction implicit nonorthogonal FDTD (ADI-NFDTD) method. The numerical results show that the proposed ADI-NFDTD algorithm demonstrates better late time stability compared to the conventional NFDTD scheme.
