Abstract
We reduce an exterior initial boundary value problem for the wave equation in three space dimensions to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain bounded by an artificial boundary as well as the original boundary. From a Kirchhoff representation formula for the solution of wave equation in an exterior domain, we derive on the artificial boundary (exact) transparent boundary conditions that are nonlocal in space and time. These lead to local approximate transparent boundary conditions of the first and second orders. It is shown that these approximate transparent conditions are satisfied exactly for a related spherically symmetric problem. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
