“…The main reason to use weak boundary procedures stems from the fact that together with summation-by-parts operators they lead to provable stable schemes. For application of this technique to finite difference methods, node-centered finite volume methods, spectral domain methods and various hybrid methods see [25,42,4,30,31,36,44,48,20,39,6,22,13,24], [32,47,45,46,14,41], [18,16,19,7] and [33,34,15,37,5] respectively. In this paper we will consider a new effect of using weak boundary procedures, namely that it in many cases (all that we tried) speeds up the convergence to steady-state.…”
