“…The MLF formulation (Zaman, 1993(Zaman, , 1994 has been applied to regular axisymmetric bodies as test problems with promising numerical results and its engineering feasibility is still being looked at. There are many papers (Burton and Miller, 1971;Wilton, 1974;Wait, 1973;Van Buren, 1970;Brebbia et al, 1991;Bannerjee and Butterfield, 1981;Ingber and Hickox, 1992) dealing with the feasibilities of other formulations. Atkinson (1976) gives a very useful survey of numerical methods for the solution of boundary integral formulations.…”
