Uniaxial perfectly matched layer

Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : Uniaxial perfectly matched layer

Uniaxial perfectly matched layer (U-PML) a numerical method designed to work as an absorbing boundary condition when solving problems of wave propagation, such as the wave equation. It is usually employed to truncate open problems (that is, problems defined on an unbounded region) simulated by the FDTD and FEM methods. This formulation was developed by Gedney and published in 1996. It is based on Berenger's perfectly matched layer method.
