Higher order boundary conditions involve derivatives of the fields beyond the first and were recently shown to be more effective than traditional first-order conditions in modeling dielectric coatings and layers. In this paper an application is presented of a third-order generalized boundary condition to scattering by a filled rectangular groove. Deficiencies of such higher order boundary conditions are addressed, and a correction is proposed for the present case. As part of the process of examining and correcting the accuracy of the proposed generalized boundary conditions, an exact solution is developed and a comparison is provided with a solution based on the standard impedance boundary condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
