contents A thin-sheet (TS) volume integral equation (VIE) formulation incorporating generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs) is presented for the simulation of three-dimensional (3D) bianisotropic metasurfaces. The metasurface is represented as an equivalent TS, with its constitutive tensors derived from the GSTC susceptibility tensors. Invoking the TS approximation, the governing VIEs are reduced to surface integral equations (SIEs), in which tangential and normal flux density components are treated as distinct sets of unknowns and discretized using Rao-Wilton-Glisson and pulse basis functions, respectively. In contrast to conventional GSTC approaches based on conventional SIEs, which represent only tangential fields, the proposed framework rigorously enforces the bianisotropic GSTCs, including normal field interactions, while retaining the flux-based VIE character of the formulation. Numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed TS-VIE-GSTC solver for polarization rotation, perfect reflection, multi-directional attenuation, and oblique phase-shift transformation.
