Application of web-spline method in electromagnetics

The finite element method, which uses weighted extended basis splines (web-splines) for solving two-dimensional electromagnetic wave equations, has been studied. The web-spline method, which does not need any mesh generation, is implemented easily. The web-spline method is more accurate numerical technique than the standard finite-element method. This new approach is applied to two-dimensional wave equations. The approximated solutions are compared with the literature. Using web-splines, more accurate results are obtained with fewer nodes.
