Wall boundary conditions for high-order finite difference schemes in computational aeroacoustics (Q1341769)

The problem of the spurious solutions arising when using high-order schemes for the Euler or Navier-Stokes equations is considered. Introducing ghost points outside the computational domain, the boundary conditions for pressure and viscous terms are proposed for seven-points approximations. The spectral analysis of the reflection of acoustic waves from a wall described by the corresponding scheme is performed. It is stated that the proposed boundary conditions provide satisfactory characteristics of acoustic wave reflections. The results of numerical experiments are presented which show good agreement with analytical solutions.
