Difference Methods with Boundary and Interface Treatment for Wave Equations

چکیده
Wave motion in acoustic and elastic media is highly influenced by the presence of outer boundaries and media interfaces. The solutions to the equations governing the wave motion at any point in the domain as a function of time can be sought either through analytical or numerical techniques. This thesis proposes provably stable finite difference schemes to accurately simulate wave interaction with boundaries and interfaces. Schemes for the acoustic wave equation in three spatial coordinates, general domains and heterogeneous media and the elastic wave equation in two spatial dimensions and layered media are presented. A study of the Rayleigh surface wave in almost incompressible media is carried through. Extensive numerical experiments designed to verify stability and accuracy as well as applicability to non trivial boundary and interface phenomena are given.

A High Order Approximation of the Two Dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients
This paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. The method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions. The construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump conditio...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...
