Quadrature for second-order triangles in the Boundary Element Method (1302.6054v1)
Published 25 Feb 2013 in math.NA, physics.comp-ph, and physics.flu-dyn
Abstract: A quadrature method for second-order, curved triangular elements in the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is presented, based on a polar coordinate transformation, combined with elementary geometric operations. The numerical performance of the method is presented using results from solution of the Laplace equation on a cat's eye geometry which show an error of order $P{-1.6}$, where $P$ is the number of elements.
