FEM–BEM coupling for the thermoelastic wave equation with transparent boundary conditions in 3D

  • We consider the thermoelastic wave equation in three dimensions with transparent boundary conditions on a bounded, not necessarily convex domain. In order to solve this problem numerically, we introduce a coupling of the thermoelastic wave equation in the interior domain with time-dependent boundary integral equations. Here, we want to highlight that this type of problem differs from other wave-type problems that dealt with FEM–BEM coupling so far, e.g., the acoustic as well as the elastic wave equation, since our problem consists of coupled partial differential equations involving a vector-valued displacement field and a scalar-valued temperature field. This constitutes a nontrivial challenge which is solved in this paper. Our main focus is on a coercivity property of a Calderón operator for the thermoelastic wave equation in the Laplace domain, which is valid for all complex frequencies in a half-plane. Combining Laplace transform and energy techniques, this coercivity in the frequency domain is used to prove the stability of a fully discrete numerical method in the time domain. The considered numerical method couples finite elements and the leapfrog time-stepping in the interior with boundary elements and convolution quadrature on the boundary. Finally, we present error estimates for the semi- and full discretization.
