Abstract

We solve the 3D acoustic wave equation with variable propagation speed in an unbounded domain with fourth order accuracy in time and space. The unbounded domain is truncated with a spherical artificial outer boundary, and an artificial boundary condition (ABC) is imposed to absorb the outgoing waves. In time, we discretize the wave equation using the θ-scheme. The resulting one parameter family of elliptic PDEs, which contain three levels in time, are discretized in space using a compact finite difference scheme on a 3 × 3 × 3 stencil. The method of difference potentials (MDP) allows us to solve this discrete elliptic PDE (EPDE) fast on a Cartesian grid despite the spherical domain not conforming to the grid.
