Matching boundary condition for elastic waves in two space dimensions

From MaRDI portal





The paper develops a new class of Matching Boundary Conditions (MBCs) designed to simulate elastic wave propagation in two-dimensional unbounded domains. The authors use Helmholtz decomposition to split elastic vector equations into scalar potential equations for pressure (P) waves and shear (S) waves. They then apply MBCs -- originally designed for scalar wave equations -- to these potentials to determine the displacement field. The proposed MBCs effectively absorb waves in specific directions. The authors rigorously prove that under these MBCs, P-waves and S-waves do not convert into one another upon hitting the boundary. The scheme is implemented on a staggered grid using finite difference semi-discretization and the velocity Verlet scheme for time integration. Numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the MBCs for both 1D and 2D scenarios.
