The time-dependent fundamental solution is used in the formulation of boundary integrals and the time integration process always restarts from the initial time condition. The process of replacing the interface values, which needs a summation of boundary integrals related to the boundary values at previous time steps can be treated in parallel iterative procedure. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the implementation of the present algorithm is efficient.展开更多

The fluid domain extended infinitely in the horizontal directions but is limited by the sea bed, the body hull, and the part of the free surface excluding the body waterplane, and is subdivided into two subdomains according to the body geometry. The two subdomains are connected by a control surface in fluid. In each subdomain, the velocity potential is described by using the usual boundary integral representation involving Green functions. The boundary integral equations are then established by satisfying the boundary conditions and the continuous condition of the potential and the normal derivation across the control surface. This multi-domain boundary element method （MDBEM） is particularly interesting for bodies with a hull form including moonpools to which the usual BEM presents singularities and slow convergence of numerical results. The application of the MDBEM to study the resonant motion of a water column in moonpools shows that the MDBEM provides an efficient and reliable prediction method.展开更多

The exploitation of the integrand divergence free property of the plate bending boundary integral equation based on the Kirc hhoff hypothesis and a very useful application of Stokes' Theorem are presented to convert surface integrals on boundary elements to the computation of bending potential functions on the discretized boundary points,even for curved surface elements of arbitrary shape. Singularity and treatment of the discontinued corne r point are not needed at all. The evaluation of the physics variant at internal points is also shown in this article. Numerical results are presented for some plate bending problems and compared against analytical and previous solutions.展开更多

This is an extension of the fast multipole BEM for two-dimensional (2D) acoustic problems developed by authors recently. Some new improvements are obtained. In this new technique, the improved Burton-Miller formulation is employed to over-come non-uniqueness difficulties in the conventional BEM for exterior acoustic problems. The computational efficiency is further improved by adopting the FMM and the block diagonal preconditioner used in the generalized minimum residual method (GMRES) iterative solver to solve the system matrix equation. Numerical results clearly demonstrate the complete reliability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. It is potentially useful for solving large-scale engineering acoustic scattering problems.展开更多

We first consider the Jacobi spectral method and the generalized Jacobi spectral method for various problems, including degenerated and singular differential equations. Then we present the generalized Jacobi quasi-orthogonal approximation and its applica- tions to the spectral element methods for high order problems with mixed inhomogeneous boundary conditions. We also discuss the related spectral methods for non-rectangular domains and the irrational spectral methods for unbounded domains. Next, we consider the Hermite spectral method and the generalized Hermite spec- tral method with their applications. Finally, we consider the Laguerre spectral method and the generalized Laguerre spectral method for many problems defined on unbounded domains. We also present the generalized Laguerre quasi-orthogonal approximation and its applications to certain problems of non-standard type and exterior problems.展开更多
