Artificial boundary method for two-dimensional Burgers' equation

The numerical solution of the two-dimensional Burgers equation in unbounded domains is considered. By introducing a circular artificial boundary, we consider the initial-boundary problem on the disc enclosed by the artificial boundary. Based on the Cole-Hopf transformation and Fourier series expansion, we obtain the exact boundary condition and a series of approximating boundary conditions on the artificial boundary. Then the original problem is reduced to an equivalent problem on the bounded domain. Furthermore, the stability of the reduced problem is obtained. Finally, the finite difference method is applied to the reduced problem, and some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.
