A mixed method for time-transient acoustic wave propagation in metamaterials
share
In this paper we develop a finite element method for acoustic wave propagation in Drude-type metamaterials. The governing equation is written as a symmetrizable hyperbolic system with auxiliary variables. The standard mixed finite elements and discontinuous finite elements are used for spatial discretization, and the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for time discretization. The a priori error analysis of fully discrete scheme is carried out in details. Numerical experiments illustrating the theoretical results and metamaterial wave propagation, are included.
