A boundary layer mesh is a mesh with dense element distribution in the normal direction along specific boundaries. PostBL is a utility to generate boundary layer elements on an existing mesh model. PostBL supports creation of hexahedral, prism, quad, and tri boundary layer elements. It is formulated as an algorithm in MeshKit, which is an open-source library for mesh generation functionalities....

‎In the present paper‎, ‎optimal heating of temperature field which is modelled as a boundary optimal control problem‎, ‎is investigated in the uncertain environments and then it is solved numerically‎. ‎In physical modelling‎, ‎a partial differential equation with stochastic input and stochastic parameter are applied as the constraint of the optimal control problem‎. ‎Controls are implemented ...

In several problems of interest in computational modeling there is a media that is either infinite or semi-infinite. Some examples include: modeling the ocean when doing ship analysis, modeling the soil underneath a footing, and modeling the air around an airplane. However, every finite element model must be terminated at some finite boundary. Unfortunately, for problems involving wave propagat...

Precise transcriptional control is dependent on specific interactions of a number of regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers and silencers. Several studies indicate that the genome in higher eukaryotes is divided into chromatin domains with functional autonomy. Chromatin domain boundaries are a class of regulatory elements that restrict enhancers to interact with appropriate promoters ...

We investigate the condition number of the matrices that appear in the boundary element method. In particular we consider the Laplace equation with mixed boundary conditions. For Dirichlet boundary conditions, the condition number of the system matrix increases linearly with the number of boundary elements. We extend the research and search for a relation between the condition number and the nu...

in this paper an algorithm is presented for the regularization of singular integrals with any degrees of singularity, which may be employed in all three-dimensional problems analyzed by boundary elements. the integrals in boundary integrals equations are inherently singular. for example, one can mention the integrals confronted in potential problems to evaluate the flow or the gradient of the f...

We consider the scattering of monochromatic electromagnetic waves at a dielectric object with a non-smooth surface. This paper studies the discretization of this problem by means of coupling finite element methods (FEM) and boundary element methods (BEM). Straightforward symmetric coupling as in [R.
