Application of a Hybrid Boundary Element Wave Based Method on a 2D Multiple Scatterer Problem

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

This paper reports on the application of a recently developed Multi-Level Boundary Element Wave Based Method (ML-BEWBM) on a multiple scatterer problem. The method combines the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Wave Based Method (WBM) in a Multi-Level concept to benefit from the best properties of the two methods. It benefits from the BEM’s capability of handling complex geometries and from the WBM’s superior convergence rate and lower computational cost when applied on geometries of moderate complexity. The problem under consideration is an unbounded steady-state acoustic problem with two scatterers. One of them has a complex and the other has a simple geometry. The hybrid method is applied on the problem and compared with BEM and Multi-Level WBM results. All methods yield similar accuracies while the ML-BEWBM is shown to be the fastest among the three.
