This paper provides an overview of the recent developments of finite-volume techniques for time-domain electromagnetic simulations. The distinctive characteristic of Finite-Volume Time-Domain (FVTD) algorithms is their applicability in non-Cartesian volume meshes. This allows great geometrical flexibility which is required for most EMC problems. Several aspects of the FVTD method are reviewed, its applications to EMC problems are discussed and illustrated by simulation examples.
