Abstract
The finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm generally needs a t hree-dimensional (3-D), rectilinear computational volume. For some app lications, one part of this volume is not useful, then taking a rectil inear total volume can require unnecessary memory and computation time . This paper introduces a method to reduce the computer resources for certain applications, The example of wave penetration inside a valley illustrates our approach.
