Abstract In the context of the numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation, the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition has proven to be efficient to absorb surface waves as well as body waves with non grazing incidence. But unfortunately the classical discrete PML generates spurious modes traveling and growing along the absorbing layers in the case of waves impinging the boundary at grazing incidence. This is significant in the case of thin mesh slices, or in the case of sources located close to the absorbing boundaries or receivers located at large offset. In previous work… More >
