“…The potential benefits of using IGA for the solution of boundary integral equations were already mentioned in the conclusions of [ 129 ], but it has only been considered first in [ 178 ]. The research on IGABEM has steadily grown since then, although not as fast as for IGAFEM, with applications in acoustics [ 61 , 82 , 196 , 205 ], elasticity [ 13 , 168 ], electromagnetics [ 83 , 195 , 204 ], lifting flow [ 63 ], potential flow [ 118 , 140 , 141 ], and solid mechanics [ 156 , 190 ], see also the recent book [ 17 ] for a comprehensive survey of the topic and a complete review of the existing literature. An implementation of (non-adaptive) IGABEM is available in the open-source library Bembel [ 81 ].…”
