finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

A high-order shock-fitting method with thermochemcial nonequilibrium and finite rate boundary conditions for graphite ablation is presented. The method is suitable for direct numerical simulation of boundary layer stability with graphite ablation. Validation with three computational data sets and one set of experimental data is shown. Stability results of the method for a 7 half angle blunt con...

A computational scheme for solving 2D Laplace boundary-value problems using rational functions as the basis functions is described. The scheme belongs to the class of desingularized methods, for which the location of singularities and testing points is a major issue that is addressed by the proposed scheme, in the context he 2D Laplace equation. Wellestablished rational-function fitting techniq...

The construction of weighted extended B-splines (web-splines), as recently introduced by the authors and J. Wipper for uniform knot sequences, is generalized to the nonuniform case. We show that web-splines form a stable basis for splines on arbitrary domains in R which provides optimal approximation power. Moreover, homogeneous boundary conditions, as encountered frequently in finite element a...
