Summary
Project abstract We propose to explore the possibility to simulate, by a corpuscular model, the motion of waves in cavities, wave guides, wave plates and, if time allows, diffraction of waves as they enter/leave wave guides. To validate the results of the corpuscular simulation model for nontrivial geometries/material properties it is necessary to have reference data obtained by solving the Maxwell equations.
This project requests supercomputer resources to validate the results of our event-based simulation approach for nontrivial interference and diffraction problems. This validation involves the solution of the Maxwell equations for very large systems with fairly complicated geometrical objects, requiring substantial amounts of memory and CPU time.
