Hugh Sasse's TLM Page

TLM is Transmission Line Modelling, a means of modelling space as a set of cells whose interconnections and electrical properties are modelled as segments of transmission lines. As well as being useful in modelling the propagation of electromagnetic waves in various media, the model has been used to study other wave phenomena.

My involvement with TLM relates to my work within The Applied Electromagnetics Group at De Montfort University's Leicester city site.

I am currently looking into created a distbuted TLM program. I am at the planning stage, and have collected some information on network programming.

The Applied Electromagnetics Group at the University of Victoria in Canada have a TLM page.
See also Professor Wolfgang J. R. Hoefer's page.
There is a paper here.
John Herring's home page
contains some TLM links
TLM has been used in fluid mechanics.
