The conventional Kirchhoff integral, based on the two‐way wave equation, states how the acoustic pressure at a point A inside a closed surface S can be calculated when the acoustic wave field is known on S. In its general form, the integrand consists of two terms: one term contains the gradient of a Green’s function and the acoustic pressure; the other term contains a Green’s function and the gradient of the acoustic pressure. The integrand can be simplified by choosing reflecting boundary conditions for the two‐way Green’s functions in such a way that either the first term or the second term vanishes on S. This conventional approach to deriving Rayleigh‐type integrals has practical value only for media with small contrasts, so that the two‐way Green’s functions do not contain significant multiple reflections. We present a modified approach for simplifying the integrand of the Kirchhoff integral by choosing absorbing boundary conditions for the one‐way Green’s functions. The resulting Rayleigh‐type integrals are the theoretical basis for true amplitude one‐way wave‐field extrapolation techniques in inhomogeneous media with significant contrasts.

Abstract Diffusion-type problems in (nearly) unbounded domains play important roles in various fields of fluid dynamics, biology, and materials science. The aim of this paper is to construct accurate absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) suitable for classical (local) as well as nonlocal peridynamic (PD) diffusion models. The main focus of the present study is on the PD diffusion formulation. The majority of the PD diffusion models proposed so far are applied to bounded domains only. In this study, we propose an effective way to handle unbounded domains both with PD and classical diffusion models. For the former, we employ a meshfree discretization, whereas for the latter the finite element method (FEM) is employed. The proposed ABCs are time-dependent and Dirichlet-type, making the approach easy to implement in the available models. The performance of the approach, in terms of accuracy and stability, is illustrated by numerical examples in 1D, 2D, and 3D.
