Microwave Oven¶

Problem description¶

This example solves adaptively the electric field in a simplified microwave oven. The waves are generated using a harmonic surface current on the right-most edge. (Such small cavity is present in every microwave oven).

Equation solved: time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations.

Boundary conditions are perfect conductor on the boundary except for the right-most edge of the small cavity, where a harmonic surface current is prescribed.

Domain of interest: Square cavity with another small square cavity attached from outside on the right.
