Abstract: | Dissipative differential-difference boundary conditions for elasticity equations are derived and investigated. These conditions completely eliminate the longitudinal and transverse waves reflected from the boundary in case of normal incidence and substantially reduce the reflected waves in a wide range of other incidence angles. The dissipative boundary conditions reduce computer resource requirements for simulation of seismic wave propagation in unbounded regions. Grid analogues of the dissipative boundary conditions are constructed for a two-layer finite-difference scheme. Comparative results are reported for the solution of two-dimensional seismic problems using these boundary conditions for various incidence angles. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 18, pp. 83–92, 2004. |
