## Abstract We present a numerical analysis of the performance of threeβdimensional (3D) perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) in a photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. This formulation dramatically reduces the reflections from the ends of the PC waveguide, leading to highl

β¦ Synopsis
We present two simple and effective schemes to formulate absorbing boundary conditions for time harmonic finite element analyses of waveguide structures. An impedance matching condition, applicable to single mode waveguides, is derived as well as an enhanced method for multi-modal wave propagation, making use of guided wave mode orthogonality.
Both types are implemented in models generated with standard finite element software. Two examples of ultrasonic transducers attached to cylindrical waveguides are presented.

With the goal of minimizing the domain size for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we develop a new class of absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) that mimic the phonon absorption properties of an unbounded exterior. The proposed MD-ABCs are extensions of perfectly matched discrete layers (PMDLs),
We compare several local absorbing boundary conditions for solving the Helmholtz equation, by a finite difference or finite element method, exterior to a general scatterer. These boundary conditions are imposed on an artificial elliptical or prolate spheroid outer surface. In order to compare the co
A new absorbing boundary condition (ABC) is presented for the solution of Maxwell equations in unbounded spaces. Called the Huygens ABC, this condition is a generalization of two previously published ABCs, namely the multiple absorbing surfaces (MAS) and the re-radiating boundary condition (rRBC). T
