A stability checking procedure for finite-difference schemes with boundary conditions in acoustic media

Abstract

The manner in which boundary conditions are approximated and introduced into finite-difference schemes has an important influence on the stability and accuracy of the results. The standard von Neumann stability condition applies only for points which are not in the vicinity of the boundaries. This stability condition does not take into consideration the effects caused by introducing the boundary conditions to the scheme. In this paper, we extend the von Neumann condition to include boundary conditions. The method is based on studying the time propagating matrix which governs the space-time behavior of the numerical grid. Examples of applying the procedure on schemes with different boundary conditions are given.
