Abstract
Nonreflecting Boundary Conditions (NRBCs) are often used on artificial boundaries as a method for the numerical solution of wave problems in unbounded domains. Recently, a two-parameter hierarchy of optimal local NRBCs of increasing order has been developed for elliptic problems, including the problem of time-harmonic acoustic waves. The optimality is in the sense that the local NRBC best approximates the exact nonlocal Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) boundary condition in the L2 norm for functions which can be Fourier-decomposed. The optimal NRBCs are combined with finite element discretization in the computational domain. Here this approach is extended to time-dependent acoustic waves. In doing this, the Semi-Discrete DtN approach is used as the starting point. Numerical examples involving propagating disturbances in two dimensions are given.
