Multiphase computations in geometrical optics

From MaRDI portal





The subject matter of this paper is similar to the authors' earlier paper [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 74, No. 1-2, 175-192 (1996; Zbl 0947.78001)], where high-frequency asymptotics of solutions of the scalar wave equation with variable speed are considered. As an alternative to the geometric optics approximation utilizing the eikonal and the transport equation, it is proposed to use a hyperbolic system of conservation laws with source terms, which allows solutions with multiple phases corresponding to crossing waves. Some numerical examples are given to solve the proposed system in some special cases. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00028].
