Implicit Spectral Element Method for Wave Equation and Some Factors Influencing Numerical Accuracy

To investigate the numerical scheme with high order of accuracy for the simulation of wave equations, Chebyshev spectral element method combined with implicit Newmark time integral method is adopted for simulating wave equations. Then some factors affecting the numerical accuracy are discussed in detail, such as time step h, Newmark factor and the subdivision style for computational domain. The conclusions indicate that the spectral element method has higher order numerical accuracy than difference method for simulation of wave equations, small time step induces less numerical error, smaller Newmark factor induces smaller numerical error, and different mesh style induces different numerical error while the general grid member gets equal to each other. The proposed method enables to simulate acoustic wave propagation in air.
