Justification of Asymptotic Two-dimensional Model for Steady Navier-Stokes Equations for Incompressible Flow





Pseudospectral time-domain method for pressure-release rough surface scattering using a surface transformation and image method


Abstract  When numerically analyzing acoustic scattering at a pressure-release rough surface, the conventional pseudospectral time domain
(PSTD) method using Fourier transform requires rigorous stability conditions in order to solve the spatial derivative in the
wave equation on the irregular boundaries between the two media due to the Gibbs phenomenon and short wavelength in air. To
eliminate such disadvantages, a new algorithm is proposed based on the Fourier PSTD method utilizing a surface boundary transformation
and an image method. Irregular surface boundaries are flattened by transformation and then an image method is applied to the
half-space domain. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed PSTD method are better than the conventional Fourier PSTD method.
Numerical results are presented for a sloped and a sinusoidal pressure-release surface.
