Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the discrete ABCs for the exterior problem of 2-D Poisson equation, 2-D Navier-Stokes equations, and 2-D linear elastic system, and for the 1-D Klein-Gordon equation on unbounded domains. By using artificial boundaries, the original problems are reduced to boundary or initial boundary value problems on bounded computational domains. Discrete boundary conditions on the artificial boundaries are obtained, and then the finite element or finite difference method is applied to solve the reduced problems.
