    On a half-space radiation condition
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Rathsfeld, Andreas
    For the Dirichlet problem of the Helmholtz equation over the half space or rough surfaces, a radiation condition is needed to guarantee a unique solution, which is physically meaningful. If the Dirichlet data is a general bounded continuous function, then the well-established Sommerfeld radiation condition, the angular spectrum representation, and the upward propagating radiation condition do not apply or require restrictions on the data, in order to define the involved integrals. In this paper a new condition based on a representation of the second derivative of the solution is proposed. The twice differentiable half-space Green's function is integrable and the corresponding radiation condition applies to general bounded functions. The condition is checked for special functions like plane waves and point source solution. Moreover, the Dirichlet problem for the half plane is discussed. Note that such a ``continuous'' radiation condition is helpful e.g. if finite sections of the rough-surface problem are analyzed.

    Finite element method to fluid-solid interaction problems with unbounded periodic interfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Hu, Guanghui; Rathsfeld, Andreas; Yin, Tao
    Consider a time-harmonic acoustic plane wave incident onto a doubly periodic (biperiodic) surface from above. The medium above the surface is supposed to be filled with a homogeneous compressible inviscid fluid of constant mass density, whereas the region below is occupied by an isotropic and linearly elastic solid body characterized by its Lamé constants. This paper is concerned with a variational approach to the fluid-solid interaction problems with unbounded biperiodic Lipschitz interfaces between the domains of the acoustic and elastic waves. The existence of quasi-periodic solutions in Sobolev spaces is established at arbitrary frequency of incidence, while uniqueness is proved only for small frequencies or for all frequencies excluding a discrete set. A finite element scheme coupled with Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings is proposed. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings are approximated by truncated Rayleigh series expansions, and, finally, numerical tests in 2D are performed.
