We consider the numerical solution of an acoustic scattering problem by the\nPlane Wave Discontinuous Galerkin Method (PWDG) in the exterior of a bounded\ndomain in \ℝ2. In order to apply the PWDG method, we introduce an\nartificial boundary to truncate the domain, and we impose a non-local\nDirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) boundary conditions on the artificial curve. To\ndefine the method, we introduce new consistent numerical fluxes that\nincorporate the truncated series of the DtN map. Error estimates with respect\nto the truncation order of the DtN map, and with respect to mesh width are\nderived. Numerical results suggest that the accuracy of the PWDG method for the\nacoustic scattering problem can be significantly improved by using DtN boundary\nconditions.\n
