Abstract: In this paper we perform a numerical study on the interesting phenomenon of soliton reflection of solid walls. We consider the 2D nonlinear Schrodinger equation as the underlying mathematical model and we use an implicit-explicit type Crank-Nicolson finite element scheme for its numerical solution. After verifying the perfect reflection of the solitons on a vertical wall, we present the imperfect reflection of a dark soliton on a diagonal wall.
