In this work we extend the Arlequin method to overlapping domain decomposition technique for transient wave equation scattering by obstacles. The main contribution of this work is to construct and analyze from the continuous level up to the fully discrete level some variants of the Arlequin method. The constructed discretizations allow to solve wave propagation problems while using non-conforming and overlapping meshes for the background propagating medium and the surrounding of the obstacle respectively. Hence we obtain a flexible and stable method in terms of the space discretization -an inf-sup condition is proven -while the stability of the time discretization is ensured by energy identities.
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.
