We present new a priori error analyses of the coupling of the Raviart–Thomas (RT) method and BEM as well as of the coupling of the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method with BEM. The novel features of the analysis of the RT-BEM coupling are the superconvergence estimates for the scalar approximation of the interior problem and new bounds in weak and strong norms for the boundary vari...

Boundary element methods (BEM) are used for forward computation of bioelectromagnetic fields in multi-compartment volume conductor models. Most BEM approaches assume that each compartment is in contact with at most one external compartment. In this work, I present a general surface integral equation and BEM discretization that remove this limitation and allow BEM modeling of general piecewise-h...

Homotopy perturbation method HPM and boundary element method BEM for calculating the exact and numerical solutions of Poisson equation with appropriate boundary and initial conditions are presented. Exact solutions of electrostatic potential problems defined by Poisson equation are found using HPM given boundary and initial conditions. The same problems are also solved using the BEM. The cell i...

This article is concerned with the formulation and implementation of a fast multipoleaccelerated BEM for 3-D elastodynamics in the frequency domain, based on the so-called diagonal form for the expansion of the elastodynamic fundamental solution, a multi-level strategy. As usual with the FM-BEM, the linear system of BEM equations is solved by GMRES, and the matrix is never explicitly formed. Th...

In this paper we describe a simple method to implement two block-coded modulation (BeM) families previously reported by the present authors. This method considerably simplifies the bit mapping procedure, and makes it possible to implement the two BeM families with long block lengths and large signal alphabets. Next, we address the problem of rotationally invariant code design that is necessary ...

wind power has been widely considered and utilized in recent years as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. in the current research study, aerodynamic analysis of the upwind three-bladed horizontal axis turbine is carried out using blade element momentum theory (bem), and a genetic algorithm (ga) is applied as an optimization method. output power generation is considered as an obj...

Constant elements offer many advantages as compared with other higher-order elements in the boundary element method (BEM). With the use of constant elements, integrals in the BEM can be calculated accurately with analytical integrations and no corner problems need to be addressed. These features can make fast solution methods for the BEM (such as the fast multipole, adaptive cross approximation...

A SMALL PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, named a blood electrometer (BEM), was developed to measure packed cell volume, which can be related to haematocrit (Hct). The electronic circuitry is simple and constructed from standard components. Being battery powered, the device is suitable for bedside or field use (‘point-of-care-testing’) without specialized training. The effects of temperature, anticoa...

A new adaptive fast multipole boundary element method (BEM) for solving 3-D half-space acoustic wave problems is presented in this paper. The half-space Green’s function is employed explicitly in the boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation so that a tree structure of the boundary elements only for the boundaries of the real domain need to be applied, instead of using a tree structure that ...
