Abstract

An iterative method based on the combined field integral equation (cfie) [1] is presented in this paper. The cfie is solved in an iterative way, avoiding the inversion of the method of moments (mom) matrix. The method has been applied to several problems showing its accuracy and fast convergence properties, mainly for large bodies.

Résumé

On présente une méthode itérative basée sur l’équation integrale des champs combinés (cfie). La cfie est resolue de maniere iterative, en evitant I'inversion de la matrice de la méthode des moments (mom). La méthode proposée a été appliquée à plusieurs problèmes. Les résultats obtenus démontrent la précision et la rapidité de convergence de cette méthode, surtoutpour les grands objets.
