In this paper we extend the DGiT multirate framework, developed in Connors and Sockwell (2022) for scalar transmission problems, to a solid–solid interaction (SSI) problem involving two coupled elastic solids and a coupled air–sea model with the rotating, thermal shallow water equations. In so doing we aim to demonstrate the broad applicability of the mathematical theory and governing principles established in Connors and Sockwell (2022) to coupled problems characterized by subproblems evolving at different temporal scales. Multirate time integration algorithms employing different time steps, optimized for the dynamics of each subproblem, can significantly improve simulation efficiency for such coupled problems. However, development of multirate algorithms is a highly non-trivial task due to the coupling, which can impact accuracy, stability or other desired properties such as preservation of system invariants. DGiT provides a general template for multirate time integration that can achieve these properties. To elucidate the manner in which DGiT accomplishes this task, we fully detail each step in the application of the framework to the SSI and air–sea coupled problems. Numerical examples illustrate key properties of the resulting multirate schemes for both problems.

Though the method-of-moments implementation of the electric-field integral equation plays an important role in computational electromagnetics, it provides many code-verification challenges due to the different sources of numerical error and their possible interactions. Matters are further complicated by singular integrals, which arise from the presence of a Green's function. In this report, we document our research to address these issues, as well as its implementation and testing in Gemma.
