HIRF interaction with metallic aircrafts. A comparison between TD and FD methods

Computer simulations provide invaluable information in HIRF (High Intensity Radiated Field) assessment of air vehicles. In this paper, we use a numerical model of a fictive metallic aircraft provided by EVEKTOR, to show a cross comparison of results found by some of the full-wave solvers developed by partners participating in the HIRF-SE project of the 7^th EU FP. Time domain and frequency domain simulators, based on differential, integral and variational formulations of Maxwell´s equations, are employed in this work.
