Abstract

Wave equations with interface jump conditions have wide applications in engineering and science, for example in acoustics, elastodynamics, seismology, and electromagnetics. In this paper, an efficient non-traditional finite element method with non-body-fitted grids is proposed to solve variable coefficient wave equations with interface jump conditions. Numerical experiments show that this method is approximately second order accurate both in the $L^∞$ norm and $L^2$ norm for piecewise smooth solutions.
