Boundary elements have emerged as a powerful alternative to finite elements particularly in cases where better accuracy is required. The most important features of boundary elements however is that it only requires descretization of the surface rather than the volume. Here, A general algorithm of the boundary integral method has been formulated for solving elliptic partial differential equations. The broad applicability of the approach is illustrated with a problem of practical interest giving the solution of the Laplace equation for potential flow with mixed boundary problems. The results and patterns are shown in tables and figures and compared well with Brebbia [1] are found in good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
