{{short description|Method of computing electromagnetic fields}}
The '''transmission-line matrix''' ('''TLM''') '''method''' is a space and time discretising method for computation of [[electromagnetic fields]]. It is based on the [[analogy]] between the electromagnetic field and a mesh of [[transmission line]]s. The TLM method allows the computation of complex three-dimensional electromagnetic structures and has proven to be one of the most powerful [[Time ___domain|time-___domain]] methods along with the [[finite difference time ___domain]] (FDTD) method. The TLM was first explored by British electrical engineer [[Raymond Beurle]] while working at [[English Electric Valve Company]] in [[Chelmsford]]. After he had been appointed professor of [[electrical engineering]] at the [[University of Nottingham]] in 1963 he jointly authored an article, "Numerical solution of 2-dimensional scattering problems using a transmission-line matrix", with [[Peter B. Johns]] in 1971.<ref name="de Cogan TLM">{{cite book |last1=de Cogan |first1=Donard |title=Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) Techniques for Diffusion Applications |date=12 December 2018 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-351-40712-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1lEPEAAAQBAJ |language=en}}</ref>

== Open-sourced code implementation of 3D-TLM ==
The [[George Green (mathematician)|George Green]] Institute for Electromagnetics Research (GGIEMR) has open-sourced an efficient implementation of 3D-TLM, capable of [[Parallel computing|parallel computation]] by means of [[Message Passing Interface|MPI]] named GGITLM and available online. <ref>{{cite web|title=George Green Institute for Electromagnetics Research - TLM time ___domain simulation code|url=https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/ggiemr/our-research/
