Implementation of a collocated Boundary Element Method for acoustic wave propagation in multilayered fluid media
نویسندگان
چکیده
The numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation with nonlocal radiation boundary conditions is considered. We model sound wave propagation in a multilayered piecewise homogeneous medium. A fourth-order accurate collocated, boundary element method is used, where the solution inside the domain is computed through a representation integral. The method is shown to have the expected fourth-order convergence and is also compared with a fourth-order accurate finite difference method.

Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media
Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...

متن کاملDiscretization of a hybrid model for acoustic wave propagation in layered fluid media∗
The objective is to construct and discretize (to fourth-order accuracy) a hybrid model for waveguide problems, where a finite difference method for inhomogeneous layers is coupled to a boundary element method (BEM) for a set of homogeneous layers. Such a hybrid model is adequate for underwater acoustics in complicated environments. Waveguides with either plane or axial symmetry are treated, whi...
