On Energy Preserving Consistent Boundary Conditions for the Yee Scheme in 2D

• The Yee scheme is one of the most popular methods for electromagnetic wave propagation. A main advantage is the structured staggered grid, making it simple and efficient on modern computer architectures. A downside to this is the difficulty in approximating oblique boundaries, having to resort to staircase approximations. In this paper we present a method to improve the boundary treatment in two dimensions by, starting from a staircase approximation, modifying the coefficients of the update stencil so that we can obtain a consistent approximation while preserving the energy conservation, structure and the optimal CFL-condition of the original Yee scheme. We prove this in L_2 and verify it by numerical experiments.
