Abstract
This paper introduces a generalization of the three-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the three-dimensional contour F DTD (CFDTD) method. The FDTD method represents curved media boundaries as stepped edges. Through the use of subcell modeling, the CFDTD meth od conformably models bodies with curved surfaces, yet retains the abi lity to model comers and edges. Electromagnetic scattering from single and multiple bodies is presented.
