Acoustic waves are modeled using a 2D frequency-domain finite-difference scheme with three different artificial damping boundaries: the absorbing boundary condition (ABC), perfectly matched layer (PML), and a hybrid strategy combining PML and ABC. We evaluated the features of each simulation for a given artificial boundary condition for homogeneous and heterogeneous media. For shorter PML layers, the hybrid absorbing scheme gave better results when compared with the traditional PML technique, with a significant reduction of the spurious reflections and a shorter computational run time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
