초록

본 논문에서는 3차원 전자기장의 병렬 해석 기법을 제안하였다. 시간 조화 벡터 파동 방정식 및 유한요소 기법에 기반한 전자기장 산란 해석이 수행되었으며, 모서리 기반 요소 및 2차 흡수 경계 조건이 도입되었다. 개발한 알고리즘은 유한요소망을 분할한 뒤 각 프로세서에 할당함으로써 요소별 수치적분 및 행렬 조립 과정의 병렬화를 달성하였다. 이때 부영역 생성을 위해 그래프 분할 라이브러리인 METIS가 도입되었다. 대형 희박행렬 방정식의 계산은 다중 프론탈 기법 기반 병렬 연산 라이브러리인 MUMPS를 통해 수행되었다. 개발된 프로그램의 정확도는 Mie 이론해 및 ANSYS HFSS 결과와의 비교를 통해 검증되었다. 또한 사용된 프로세서 수에 따른 가속 지표를 측정하여 확장성을 확인하였다. 완전 전기 도체 구, 등·이방성 유전체 구 및 유도탄 예제 형상에 대한 전자기장 산란 해석이 수행되었다. 개발된 프로그램의 알고리즘은 추후 유한요소 분할 및 합성법에 활용될 예정이며, 더욱 확장된 병렬 연산 성능을 목표하고자 한다.

In this paper, parallel computing method on the three-dimensional electromagnetic field is proposed. The present electromagnetic scattering analysis is conducted based on the time-harmonic vector wave equation and the finite element method. The edge-based element and 2nd -order absorbing boundary condition are used. Parallelization of the elemental numerical integration and the matrix assemblage is accomplished by allocating the partitioned finite element subdomain for each processor. The graph partitioning library, METIS, is employed for the subdomain generation. The large sparse matrix computation is conducted by MUMPS, which is the parallel computing library based on the multi-frontal method. The accuracy of the present program is validated by the comparison against the Mie-series analytical solution and the results by ANSYS HFSS. In addition, the scalability is verified by measuring the speed-up in terms of the number of processors used. The present electromagnetic scattering analysis is performed for a perfect electric conductor sphere, isotropic/anisotropic dielectric sphere, and the missile configuration. The algorithm of the present program will be applied to the finite element and tearing method, aiming for the further extended parallel computing performance.
