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,

β¦ Synopsis
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 computational solution with an analytical solution, we consider, as an example, scattering about an ellipse. We solve the Helmholtz equation with both finite differences and finite elements. We also introduce a new boundary condition for an ellipse based on a modal expansion.

## In this work, we present a new absorbing boundary condi-( ) tion for the finite-difference time-domain FDTD method. This boundary condition is based on the use of chiral absorbers, which are well suited for this application. Further, we present se¨eral numerical examples to illustrate the effica
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),
The finite element method is employed to approximate the solutions of the Helmholtz equation for water wave radiation and scattering in an unbounded domain. A discrete, non-local and non-reflecting boundary condition is specified at an artificial external boundary by the DNL method, yielding an equi
