Modeling stationary moving medium by static magneto-electric material

The electromagnetic equivalence of a stationary moving medium to magneto-electric materials is studied. The equivalent material characteristics of the medium at rest is obtained in terms of the diffusion tensor coefficient of the governing partial differential equation. Special attention is paid to the transition condition of field quantities on the boundary of the moving medium; it is found that the nonmoving magneto-electric equivalent model must be supplied with surface sources. The method is demonstrated through examples and verified by finite element simulation.
