Perfectly Matched Layer as an Absorbing Boundary Condition for Computational Aero-Acoustic

Advances in Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) depend critically on the availability of accurate, nondispersive, least dissipative computation algorithm as well as high quality numerical boundary treatments. This paper focuses on the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) for external boundaries in CAA. To achieve low dissipation and dispersion errors, Dispersion-Relation-Preserving (DRP) Schemes are used for spatial discretization of the acoustic equations. The classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta time scheme is applied to the acoustic equations for time discretization. Four cases are given to illustrate the 2D PML equations for the linearized/nonlinear Euler equations in Cartesian coordinates and Cylindrical coordinates. The results show that the PML is effective as absorbing boundary condition. Those are basis for PML in actual computations of acoustic problems.
