Hi Ansys Learning Community, <\/p>\n

I am trying to simulate an air water boundary using Plane Waves as a source. What would be the correct boundary settings to simulate this properly?<\/p>\n

I’ve used floquet ports and the results match Snell’s law however, eventually I want to insert objects at the water\/air boundary to see the impact. Can I still use floquet ports in this scenario?<\/p>\n

I’ve set the Global Material Environment to Water or Air and the results dont make much sense. I should see the plane wave refract towards the angle calulcated by Snell’s Law. <\/p>\n

I used PML boundaries around the water region, and Radiation Boundaries around the air region since the global variable is set to air. The image below is using a waveguide probe instead of a plane wave. I was thinking that would be more accurate, but the results are still strange.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Waveguide<\/p>\n

Any pointers or suggestions would be much appreciated. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-288781","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-reflection-2","topic-tag-ansys-hfss","topic-tag-antenna"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["176545","109997"],"_bbp_author_ip":["168.143.243.24"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["917"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["288781"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["109997","176545"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["290535"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["290535"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-06-27 11:10:22"]},"test":"nolan876"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/288781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/288781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
