A convolution quadrature Galerkin boundary element method for the exterior Neumann problem of the wave equation

The numerical solution of the Neumann problem of the wave equation on unbounded three-dimensional domains is calculated using the convolution quadrature method for the time discretization and a Galerkin boundary element method for the spatial discretization. The mathematical analysis that has been built up for the Dirichlet problem is extended and developed for the Neumann problem, which is important for many modelling applications. Numerical examples are then presented for one of these applications, modelling transient acoustic radiation. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
