Hi all,
I'm wondering, if it possible to use the scattering boundary conditions in the RF module to make a boundary transparent for a plane wave with a known wave-vector (which is different from the wave vector of the incident field at this boundary).
To give a simple example, if I, for example, want to simulate the reflections of a plane wave (with a wave vector given by k=(kx,0,kz) and a polarisation of E=(1,0,-kx/kz)) by a metallic half space (surface given by z=0), I know that the wave vector of the reflected field will be k=(kx,0,-kz). Is there any possible to make this simple simulation using scattering boundary conditions (without using PML) and solving for the full field? (I don't want to solve for the scattered field or use PML, since it would be inconvenient for the simulations I'm interested in. Obviously my final goal is not to calculate the reflection of a plan wave at a metal surface.)
Thanks a lot in advance for any advises,
Felix
