Numerical Absorbing Boundary Conditions for the Wave Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a theory of difference approximations to absorbing boundary conditions for the scalar wave equation in several space dimensions. This generalizes the work of the author described in [8]. The theory is based on a representation of analytical absorbing boundary conditions proven in [8]. These conditions are defined by compositions of first-order, one-dimensional differential operators. Here the operators are discretized individually, and their composition is used as a discretization of the boundary condition. The analysis of stability and reflection properties reduces to separate studies of the individual factors. A representation of the discrete boundary conditions makes it possible to perform the analysis geometrically, with little explicit calculation.

Stability of wide-angle absorbing boundary conditions for the wave equation
Numerical solution of the two-dimensional wave equation requires mapping from a physical domain without boundaries to a computational domain with artificial boundaries. For realistic solutions, the artificial boundaries should cause waves to pass directly through and thus mimic total absorption of energy. An artificial boundary which propagates waves in one direction only is derived from approx...
متن کاملHigh order nite-di erence approximations of the wave equation with absorbing boundary conditions: a stability analysis
This paper deals with the stability of nite di erence approximations of initial value problems for the wave equation with absorbing boundary conditions. The stability of a family of high order variational numerical schemes is studied by energy techniques. Dirichlet, sponge and rst order paraxial absorbing boundary conditions are treated. The variational form of the schemes as well as the use of...
متن کاملAbsorbing Boundary Conditions for the Schrödinger Equation
A large number of differential equation problems which admit traveling waves are usually defined on very large or infinite domains. To numerically solve these problems on smaller subdomains of the original domain, artificial boundary conditions must be defined for these subdomains. One type of artificial boundary condition which can minimize the size of such subdomains is the absorbing boundary...
متن کاملWell-Posedness of One-Way Wave Equations and Absorbing Boundary Conditions
A one-way wave equation is a partial differential equation which, in some approximate sense, behaves like the wave equation in one direction but permits no propagation in the opposite one. Such equations are used in geophysics, in underwater acoustics, and as numerical "absorbing boundary conditions". Their construction can be reduced to the approximation of vl s2 on [-1,1] by a rational functi...
متن کاملAlgebraic derivation of discrete absorbing boundary conditions for the wave equation
We introduce a new algebraic framework to derive discrete absorbing boundary conditions for the wave equation in the one-dimensional case. The idea is to factor directly the discrete wave operator and then use one of the factors as boundary condition. We also analyse the stability of the schemes obtained this way and perform numerical simulations to estimate their practical value. 1. Introducti...
