Abstract: Multi-block patched grids in conjunction with a finite volume time domain (FVTD) algorithm are used to solve classic multi-body electromagnetic scattering problems. The governing equations of the Maxwell equations are cast into three-dimensional general curvilinear coordinates. The approach uses four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for time integration and flux vector splitting based on eigen structure of flux Jacobian matrices for spatial discretization. Monotonic upstream shemes for conservation laws (MUSCL) scheme for interpolation is used for the dependent variable. The resolution for temporal discretization is second order and that for spatial discretization is third order. Numerical results for the radar cross section(RCS) of a classical configuration agree well with the analytical results. And the results for multi-body calculation agree well with that in references. It shows that the algorithm developed is able to simulate complex topology configuration (including multi-body) problems.
