چکیده

We consider the variational formulation of the electric field integral equation (EFIE) on bounded polyhedral open or closed surfaces. We employ a conforming Galerkin discretization based on divΓ-conforming Raviart-Thomas boundary elements (BEM) of locally variable polynomial degree on shape-regular surface meshes. We establish asymptotic quasi-optimality of Galerkin solutions on sufficiently fine meshes or for sufficiently high polynomial degree.

9 M ay 2 00 9 The hp - BEM with quasi - uniform meshes for the electric field integral equation on polyhedral surfaces : a priori error analysis ∗

This paper presents an a priori error analysis of the hp-version of the boundary element method for the electric field integral equation on a piecewise plane (open or closed) Lipschitz surface. We use H(div)-conforming discretisations with Raviart-Thomas elements on a sequence of quasi-uniform meshes of triangles and/or parallelograms. Assuming the regularity of the solution to the electric fie...

A priori error analysis of the BEM with graded meshes for the electric field integral equation on polyhedral surfaces

The Galerkin boundary element discretisations of the electric eld integral equation (EFIE) on Lipschitz polyhedral surfaces su er slow convergence rates when the underlying surface meshes are quasi-uniform and shape-regular. This is due to singular behaviour of the solution to this problem in neighbourhoods of vertices and edges of the surface. Aiming to improve convergence rates of the Galerki...

Shielding Effectiveness of a Lossy Metallic Enclosure

In this paper, shielding effectiveness (SE) of a perforated enclosure with imperfectly conducting walls is evaluated. To this end, first, an accurate numerical technique based on method of Moments (MoM) ispresented. In this method, lossy metallic walls of the enclosure are replaced by equivalent electric surfacecurrent sources. Then, the impedance boundary condition on the imperfectly conductin...

Adaptive Galerkin boundary element methods with panel clustering

In this paper, we will propose a boundary element method for solving classical boundary integral equations on complicated surfaces which, possibly, contain a large number of geometric details or even uncertainties in the given data. The (small) size of such details is characterised by a small parameter and the regularity of the solution is expected to be low in such zones on the surface (which ...

Wavenumber-Explicit hp-BEM for High Frequency Scattering

For the Helmholtz equation (with wavenumber k) and analytic curves or surfaces Γ we analyze the Galerkin discretization of classical combined field integral equations in an L-setting. We give abstract conditions on the approximation properties of the ansatz space that ensure stability and quasi-optimality of the Galerkin method. Special attention is paid to the hp-version of the boundary elemen...
