Improved conditioning of infinite elements for exterior acoustics. (English) Zbl 1032.76652

Summary: An optimized version of the so-called mapped wave envelope elements, also known as Astley-Leis elements, is introduced. These elements extend to infinity in one dimension and therefore provide an approach to the simulation of exterior acoustical problems in both frequency and time domains. Their formulation is improved significantly through the proper choice of polynomial bases in the direction of radiation. In particular, certain Jacobi polynomials are identified which behave well with respect to conditioning of the system matrices. As a consequence, the size of the finite element discretization may reduce considerably without any loss of accuracy. In addition, the new polynomial bases lead to superior performance of the infinite elements in conjunction with iterative solvers.
