| Abstract: |
For wave propagation problems in infinite-domains, truncation of the far-field by an artificial boundary is essential to define a bounded domain of interest; resultant difficulties are the radiation condition and generation of incident waves. Instead of the radiation condition, an absorbing boundary condition (ABC) is implemented in an inhomogeneous exterior domain, based on the perfectly matched layer (PML) technique. Complex coordinate stretching, a key PML concept, analytically continues a governing equation in the domain of interest into a PML equation as an anisotropic absorbing boundary in the exterior domain; a system of equivalent equations governs waves in the whole computational domain, and thus the PML is reflectionless at the artificial boundary, an interface between the PML and the domain of interest. For generation of incident waves, wave-maker modeling is proposed based on an idea of plain topography and wave-ray tracing. A source function along the interface is a curvilinear integral in a weak form for the governing equation. Finite element examples for wave propagation in one-dimension verify ability and efficiency of techniques with PML ABCs; besides, those for wave scattering by a circular cylinder on a slope show effectiveness of the wave-maker modeling. |
