We consider the Helmholtz equation with a nonconstant coefficient, defined in unbounded domains external to 2D bounded ones, endowed with a Dirichlet condition on the boundary and the Sommerfeld radiation condition at infinity. To solve it, we reduce the infinite region, in which the solution is defined, to a bounded computational one, delimited by a curved smooth artificial boundary, and we impose on this latter a nonreflecting condition of boundary integral type. Then, we apply the curved virtual element method in the finite computational domain, combined with the one-equation boundary element method on the artificial boundary. We present the theoretical analysis of the proposed approach, and we provide an optimal convergence error estimate in the energy norm. The numerical tests confirm the theoretical results and show the effectiveness of the new proposed approach.
