Viscous boundary, viscous spring boundary, infinite boundary have been widely used during the last decades to solve the wave propagation in the infinite ground. In this paper we evaluate the performance of the three boundary conditions focusing on their solution precision. The comparison is performed on a two dimensional finite element model built by ABAQUS. The results show that viscous spring boundary outperforms the other boundary conditions, and viscous boundary is better than infinite element.

AbstractIn this paper the numerical solution of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon equation is studied. Split local artificial boundary conditions are obtained by the operator splitting method. Then the original problem is reduced to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain, which can be solved by the finite difference method. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, and some interesting propagation and collision behaviors of the solitary wave solutions are observed.

The thermal performance of perforated brick is affected by various factors, thermal conductivity, the holes rates, the pass design and etc. included. In order to analyze the impact of the pass design on the thermal performance of bidirectional thermal insulation bricks, the two-dimensional finite element model was developed using ANSYS. The simulated result shows that existence of vertical holes can enhance the thermal resistance in the longer dimension of the perforated brick. Under the condition of the same holes rates, narrowing the width of the vertical holes helps to improve the thermal resistance in the shorter dimension of the perforated brick. The function of these blocks are extremely influenced by the distribution of the vertical holes, the concentrated better than the both-sided when it comes to advancing the whole function.

AbstractThe numerical solution of the time-fractional sub-diffusion equation on an unbounded domain in two-dimensional space is considered, where a circular artificial boundary is introduced to divide the unbounded domain into a bounded computational domain and an unbounded exterior domain. The local artificial boundary conditions for the fractional sub-diffusion equation are designed on the circular artificial boundary by a joint Laplace transform and Fourier series expansion, and some auxiliary variables are introduced to circumvent high-order derivatives in the artificial boundary conditions. The original problem defined on the unbounded domain is thus reduced to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain. A finite difference and L1 approximation are applied for the space variables and the Caputo time-fractional derivative, respectively. Two numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
