A summary of infinite element formulations for exterior Helmholtz problems
نویسنده
چکیده
This work is devoted to a study and summary of different Infinite Element (IE) formulations for Helmholtz problems in arbitrary exterior domains. The theoretical setting for each of the different formulations is presented and related to the mathematical existence theory. The influences of a bilinear or a sesquilinear formulation are discussed as well as possible extensions to other elements. The implementation of the Infinite Element Method (IEM) incorporates the use of 2D and 3D hp Finite Elements and allows for hpadaptive refinements. Numerical results show the computational efficiency of the coupled Finite-Infinite Element methodology.

Stabilized boundary element methods for exterior Helmholtz problems
In this paper we describe and analyze some modified boundary element methods to solve exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The proposed approach avoids spurious modes even in the case of Lipschitz boundaries. Moreover, the regularisation is done based on boundary integral operators which are already available in standa...
متن کاملAnalysis of a coupled finite-infinite element method for exterior Helmholtz problems
Coupled finite-infinite element computations are very efficient for modeling large scale acoustics problems. Parallel algorithms, like sub-structuring and domain decomposition methods, have shown to be very efficient for solving huge linear systems arising from acoustics. In this paper, a coupled finite-infinite element method is described, formulated and analyzed for parallel computations purp...
متن کاملIs the Helmholtz Equation Really Sign-Indefinite?
The usual variational (or weak) formulations of the Helmholtz equation are sign-indefinite in the sense that the bilinear forms cannot be bounded below by a positive multiple of the appropriate norm squared. This is often for a good reason, since in bounded domains under certain boundary conditions the solution of the Helmholtz equation is not unique at certain wavenumbers (those that correspon...
متن کاملOn the coupling of BEM and FEM for exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation
This paper deals with the coupled procedure of the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite element method (FEM) for the exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation. A circle is selected as the common boundary on which the integral equation is set up with Fourier expansion. As a result, the exterior problems are transformed into nonlocal boundary value problems in a bounded ...
متن کاملNumerische Mathematik Manuscript-nr. a Finite-element Capacitance Matrix Method for Exterior Helmholtz Problems
We introduce an algorithm for the eecient numerical solution of exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation. The problem is reformulated as an equivalent one on a bounded domain using an exact non-local boundary condition on a circular artiicial boundary. An FFT-based fast Helmholtz solver is then derived for a nite-element discretization on an annular domain. The exterior probl...
