Abstract

The numerical modeling of wave propagation in offshore applications is a formidable challenge even today when we have highly capable numerical schemes and computational power at our disposal. The waves travel in a huge and unbounded domain while the phenomena of interest are only around the structures. Therefore, the infinite domain is truncated via artificial boundaries. This results in a compact computational domain and a residual infinite domain. One of the bottlenecks is what type of boundary condition should be imposed on these introduced boundaries. It should be chosen such that the solution in the small truncated domain coincides with that in the original infinite domain.
