ABSTRACTThe advective diffusion analyses have been applied to many fields of science and engineering, such as dispersion for chemically reacting(first-order reaction) substance, thermal transport in fluid, analysis of electromagnetic field caused by a moving magnet. electron transport in semiconductors, underground migration of radioactive waste, and so on. The boundary element method (BEM) has been developed extensively for the last decade to solve these transient advective diffusion equation. The time integrations of the fundamental solution in the boundary integral equation, however, make the BEM application to advective diffusion problems difficult. Therefore, the time integration has been approximated in the past relevant publications. This paper describes the BEM in which the time integration is done analytically, and technique is demonstrated with several examples. Good results have been obtained in the example calculations, where comparisons are made with the results from other numerical codes.

In the boundary element method (BEM), the Galerkin weighting technique allows to obtain numerical solutions of a boundary integral equation (BIE), giving the Galerkin boundary element method (GBEM). In three-dimensional (3D) spatial domains, the nested double surface integration of GBEM leads to a significantly larger computational time for assembling the linear system than with the standard collocation method. In practice, the computational time is roughly an order of magnitude larger, thus limiting the use of GBEM in 3D engineering problems. The standard approach for reducing the computational time of the linear system assembling is to skip integrations whenever possible. In this work, a modified assembling algorithm for the element matrices in GBEM is proposed for solving integral kernels that depend on the exterior unit normal. This algorithm is based on kernels symmetries at the element level and not on the flow nor in the mesh. It is applied to a BIE that models external creeping flows around 3D closed bodies using second-order kernels, and it is implemented using OpenMP. For these BIEs, the modified algorithm is on average 32% faster than the original one.

A boundary element method (BEM) implementation of the energy domain integral (EDI) methodology for the numerical analysis of three-dimensional fracture problems considering thermal effects is presented in this paper. The EDI is evaluated from a domain representation naturally compatible with the BEM, since stresses, strains, temperatures, and derivatives of displacements and temperatures at internal points can be evaluated using the appropriate boundary integral equations. Special emphasis is put on the selection of the auxiliary function that represents the virtual crack advance in the domain integral. This is found to be a key feature to obtain reliable results at the intersection of the crack front with free surfaces. Several examples are analyzed to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the implementation.

Low-cost airlines have significantly increased air transport, thus an increase in aviation noise. Therefore, predicting aircraft noise is an important component for designing an aircraft to reduce its impact on environmental noise along with the cost of testing and certification. The aim of this work is to develop a three-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM), which can predict the sound propagation and scattering over metamaterials and metasurfaces in mean flow. A methodology for the implementation of metamaterials and metasurfaces in BEM as an impedance patch is presented here. A three-dimensional BEM named as BEM3D has been developed to solve the aero-acoustics problems, which incorporates the Fast Multipole Method to solve large scale acoustics problems, Taylor’s transformation to account for uniform and non-uniform mean flow, impedance and non-local boundary conditions for the implementation of metamaterials. To validate BEM3D, the predictions have been benchmarked against the Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations and experimental data. It has been concluded that for no flow case BEM3D gives identical acoustics potential values against benchmarked FEM (COMSOL) predictions. For Mach number of 0.1, the BEM3D and FEM (COMSOL) predictions show small differences. The difference between BEM3D and FEM (COMSOL) predictions increases further for higher Mach number of 0.2 and 0.3. The increase in difference with Mach number is because Taylor’s Transformation gives an approximate solution for the boundary integral equation. Nevertheless, it has been concluded that Taylor’s transformation gives reasonable predictions for low Mach number of up to 0.3. BEM3D predictions have been validated against experimental data on a flat plate and a duct. Very good agreement has been found between the measured data and BEM3D predictions for sound propagation without and with the mean flow at low Mach number.

AbstractIn engineering industries, composite laminates have been widely applied for various applications. This work presents an efficient analysis of the interlaminar stresses in three-dimensional thin layered anisotropic composites by the boundary element method (BEM). Due to the nearly singular integrals in the boundary integral equation, the conventional BEM approach cannot be applied to analyze the composite layers that are very thin. The present work employs the self-regularization scheme to analyze the interlaminar stresses in thin anisotropic composites. In the end, a few benchmark examples are presented to show the applicability of the present approach.
