Abstract

AbstractA root‐finding absorbing boundary condition (RFABC) for scalar‐wave propagation problems in infinite anisotropic media was developed. Although the phase velocity and the group velocity in isotropic media have the same sign, the sign of the latter can differ from that of the former in anisotropic media. Therefore, a RFABC for anisotropic scalar waves consistent with the group velocity of the considered media is developed, as the velocity is closely related to the direction of energy propagation. The developed boundary condition is shown to satisfy a criterion for an “enough accurate” boundary condition. The well‐posedness of the boundary condition is proven at the continuous level. Its finite‐element formulation, which ensures well‐posedness at a discrete level, is derived, after which it is demonstrated that accurate and stable solutions to the problem of antiplane shear‐wave propagation in an anisotropic elastic waveguide, an example of anisotropic scalar‐wave propagation, can be obtained using the proposed numerical approach.
