A high-frequency fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) based on the Burton–Miller formulation is proposed for three-dimensional acoustic wave problems over an infinite plane with impedance boundary conditions. The Green's function for the sound propagation over an impedance plane is employed explicitly in the boundary integral equation (BIE). To deal with the integral appearing in the half-space Green's function, the downward pass in the FMBEM is divided into two parts to compute contributions from the real domain to the real and image domains, respectively. A piecewise analytical method is proposed to compute the moment-to-local (M2L) translator from the real domain to the image domain accurately. An algorithm based on the multi-level tree structure is designed to compute the M2L translators efficiently. Correspondingly, the direct coefficient can also be computed efficiently by taking advantage of the algorithm of the efficient M2L. A flexible generalized minimal residual (fGMRES) is applied to accelerating the solution when the convergence is very slow. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed FMBEM. Good solutions and high acceleration ratios compared with the conventional boundary element method clearly show the potential of the FMBEM for large-scale 3D acoustic wave problems over an infinite impedance plane which are of practical significance.

In this paper, the fast multipole boundary element method (BEM) for modeling acoustic wave problems in both 3-D full- and half-space domains will be discussed. First, the fast multipole BEM formulations will be presented and then improvements to the formulations and algorithms will be discussed. Examples with large-scale acoustic BEM models, with the DOFs above 2 millions and solved on desktop PCs, will be presented to demonstrate the potential of the fast multipole BEM for modeling large-scale structural acoustic problems.

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.
