We apply time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) numerical simulations to study the finite frequency electrodynamics of superconductors subjected to an intense rf magnetic field. Much recent TDGL work has focused on spatially uniform external magnetic fields and largely ignores the Meissner state screening response of the superconductor. In this paper, we solve the TGDL equations for a spatially nonuniform magnetic field created by a point magnetic dipole in the vicinity of a semi-infinite superconductor. A two-domain simulation is performed to accurately capture the effect of the inhomogeneous applied fields and the resulting screening currents. The creation and dynamics of vortex semiloops penetrating deep into the superconductor domain are observed and studied, and the resulting third-harmonic nonlinear response of the sample is calculated. Further, the effect of pointlike defects on vortex semi-loop behavior is also studied. This simulation method will assist our understanding of the limits of superconducting response to intense rf magnetic fields.
