The present paper shows a number of numerical methods under development at LPP-ERM/KMS to model wave propagation and damping in the RF domain of frequencies. The philosophy is to adopt a maximum of physics tools already available in the literature (i.e. no new derivations are proposed; at most mild, intuitive upgrades of the existing analytical description are introduced) and extend them to make the description more realistic while keeping the CPU needs as modest as possible.
