Abstract The frequency-domain seismic modeling has advantages over the time-domain modeling, including the efficient implementation of multiple sources and straightforward extension for adding attenuation factors. One of the most persistent challenges in the frequency domain as well as in the time domain is how to effectively suppress the unwanted seismic reflections from the truncated boundaries of the model. Here, we propose a 2D frequency-domain finite-difference wavefield simulation in elastic media with hybrid absorbing boundary conditions, which combine the perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition with the Clayton absorbing boundary conditions (first and second orders). The PML boundary condition is implemented in the damping zones of the model, while the Clayton absorbing boundary conditions are applied to the outer boundaries of the damping zones. To improve the absorbing performance of the hybrid absorbing boundary conditions in the frequency domain, we apply the complex coordinate stretching method to the spatial partial derivatives in the Clayton absorbing boundary conditions. To testify the validity of our proposed algorithm, we compare the calculated seismograms with an analytical solution. Numerical tests show the hybrid absorbing boundary condition (PML plus the stretched second-order Clayton absorbing condition) has the best absorbing performance over the other absorbing boundary conditions. In the model tests, we also successfully apply the complex coordinate stretching method to the free surface boundary condition when simulating seismic wave propagation in elastic media with a free surface.

Abstract Diffusion-type problems in (nearly) unbounded domains play important roles in various fields of fluid dynamics, biology, and materials science. The aim of this paper is to construct accurate absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) suitable for classical (local) as well as nonlocal peridynamic (PD) diffusion models. The main focus of the present study is on the PD diffusion formulation. The majority of the PD diffusion models proposed so far are applied to bounded domains only. In this study, we propose an effective way to handle unbounded domains both with PD and classical diffusion models. For the former, we employ a meshfree discretization, whereas for the latter the finite element method (FEM) is employed. The proposed ABCs are time-dependent and Dirichlet-type, making the approach easy to implement in the available models. The performance of the approach, in terms of accuracy and stability, is illustrated by numerical examples in 1D, 2D, and 3D.
