✦ Synopsis

The goal of this article is to apply the mortar finite element method to the numerical simulation of (electromagnetic and/or acoustic) waves propagating in an inhomogeneous support. This approach allows us to use meshes well adapted to the local physical parameters of the media without any conformity constraints. A complete mathematical study is supplied providing the expected optimal convergence rate. Numerical performances of such a technique, as well as its advantages, are also discussed.
