Compared to the traditional boundary element method (BEM), the single level fast multipole boundary element method (SLFMBEM) or the multilevel fast multipole boundary element method (MLFMBEM) reduces the computational complexity of a job from O(n2) to O(n3/2) or O(n log 2n), respectively with n being the number of unknowns; this means a dramatical reduction in terms of CPU-time and storage requirement. Large scale problems, unsolvable with the traditional BEM, can be solved by using the FMBEM. In this paper, the traditional BEM, SLFMBEM, and MLFMBEM are formulated within the framework of the Burton–Miller Collocation BEM for acoustic radiation and scattering from 3D structures. Attention is especially paid to the practical aspects of the method in order to get a reliable and efficient computation code. The performance of the method is tested with practical examples, including one for computing the head-related transfer function (HRTF) between 1000 and 18 000 Hz.

Vectorization expressions of a Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method (FM-BEM) based on Legendre series are presented for three-dimensional (3-D) potential problems. The formulas are applied to the expression of fundamental solutions for the Boundary Element Method(BEM). Truncation errors of the multipole expansion and local expansion are deduced and analyzed. It shows that the errors can be controlled by truncation terms.

Some recent development of the fast multipole boundary element method (BEM) for modeling acoustic wave problems in both 2-D and 3-D domains are presented in this paper. First, the fast multipole BEM formulation for 2-D acoustic wave problems based on a dual boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation is presented. Second, some improvements on the adaptive fast multipole BEM for 3-D acoustic wave problems based on the earlier work are introduced. The improvements include adaptive tree structures, error estimates for determining the numbers of expansion terms, refined interaction lists, and others in the fast multipole BEM. Examples involving 2-D and 3-D radiation and scattering problems solved by the developed 2-D and 3-D fast multipole BEM codes, respectively, will be presented. The accuracy and efficiency of the fast multipole BEM results clearly demonstrate the potentials of the fast multipole BEM for solving large-scale acoustic wave problems that are of practical significance.

Based on fast multipole boundary element method (FM-BEM) and mixed variational inequality, a new numerical method named mixed fast multipole boundary element method (MFM-BEM) was presented in this paper for solving three-dimensional elastic-plastic contact problems. Mixed boundary integral equation (MBIE) was the foundation of MFM-BEM and obtained by mixed variational inequality. In order to adapt the requirement of fast multipole method (FMM), Taylor series expansion was used in discrete MBIE. In MFM-BEM the calculation time was significant decreased, the calculation accuracy and continuity was also improved. These merits of MFM-BEM were demonstrated in numerical examples. MFM-BEM has broad application prospects and will take an important role in solving large-scale engineering problems.
