Abstract
The use of characteristic boundary conditions for the Navier-Stokes eq uations with constant coefficients matrices are analysed. New boundary conditions of characteristic type that yield Fast convergence to stea dy state, a strongly well posed continuous problem and a strongly stab le semi-discrete problem are derived. Numerical experiments that indic ate the relevance of the analysis for the nonlinear problem are presen ted.
