Summary
The coupling of two-dimensional (2D) and one-dimensional (1D) models in time harmonic
elasticity is considered. The hybrid 2D-1D model is justified for cases
where some regions in the 2D computational domain behave approximately in a 1D
way. This hybrid model, if designed properly, is much more efficient than the
standard 2D model taken for the entire problem. Two important issues related to
such hybrid 2D-1D models are (a) the design of the hybrid model and its validation
(with respect to the original problem), and (b) the way the 2D-1D coupling is done,
and the coupling error generated. This paper focuses on the second issue. Three
numerical methods are adapted to the 2D-1D coupling scenario, for elastic time harmonic
waves: the Panasenko method, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) method
and the Nitsche method. All three are existing methods that deal with interfaces;
however none of them has previously been adopted and applied to the type of
problem studied here. The accuracy of the 2D-1D coupling by the three methods is
compared numerically for a specially designed benchmark problem, and conclusions
are drawn on their relative performances.
