چکیده

In practical calculations, it is often essential to introduce artificial boundaries to limit the area of computation. Here we develop a systematic method for obtaining a hierarchy of local boundary conditions at these artifical boundaries. These boundary conditions not only guarantee stable difference approximations, but also minimize the (unphysical) artificial reflections that occur at the boundaries.

Absorbing 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...

n-Times Absorbing Boundary Conditions for Compact Finite-Difference Modeling of Acoustic and Elastic Wave Propagation in the 2D TI Medium

This article presents decoupling n-times absorbing boundary conditions designed to model acoustic and elastic wave propagation in a 2D transversely isotropic (TI) medium. More general n-times boundary conditions with absorbing parameters are also obtained by cascading first-order differential operators with parameters. These boundary conditions are approximated with simple finite-difference sch...

Implementation of higher-order absorbing boundary conditions for the Einstein equations

We present an implementation of absorbing boundary conditions for the Einstein equations based on the recent work of Buchman and Sarbach. In this paper, we assume that spacetime may be linearized about Minkowski space close to the outer boundary, which is taken to be a coordinate sphere. We reformulate the boundary conditions as conditions on the gauge-invariant ReggeWheeler-Zerilli scalars. Hi...

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...

Solving wave equation with spectral methods and nonreflecting boundary conditions

A multidomain spectral method for solving wave equations is presented. This method relies on the expansion of functions on basis of spherical harmonics (Y m l (θ, φ)) for the angular dependence and of Chebyshev polynomials Tn(x) for the radial part. The spherical domains consist of shells surrounding a nucleus and cover the space up to a finite radius R at which boundary conditions are imposed....
