Solutions to the Discrete Airy Equation: Application to Parabolic Equation Calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the case of the equidistant discretization of the Airy differential equation (“discrete Airy equation”) the exact solution can be found explicitly. This fact is used to derive a discrete transparent boundary condition (TBC) for a Schrödinger–type equation with linear varying potential, which can be used in “parabolic equation” simulations in (underwater) acoustics and for radar propagation in the troposphere. We propose different strategies for the discrete TBC and show an efficient implementation. Finally a stability proof for the resulting scheme is given. A numerical example in the application to underwater acoustics shows the superiority of the new discrete TBC.

Elzaki transform method for finding solutions to two-dimensional elasticity problems in polar coordinates formulated using Airy stress functions
In this paper, the Elzaki transform method is used for solving two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in plane polar coordinates. Airy stress function was used to express the stress compatibility equation as a biharmonic equation. Elzaki transform was applied with respect to the radial coordinate to a modified form of the stress compatibility equation, and the biharmonic equation simplified t...

متن کاملAccelerating parabolic beams.
We demonstrate the existence of accelerating parabolic beams that constitute, together with the Airy beams, the only orthogonal and complete families of solutions of the two-dimensional paraxial wave equation that exhibit the unusual ability to remain diffraction-free and freely accelerate during propagation. Since the accelerating parabolic beams, like the Airy beams, carry infinite energy, we...
