Solution of the two-dimensional scalar wave equation by the time-domain boundary element method: Lagrange truncation strategy in time integration
J. A. M. Carrer , W. J. Mansur
Abstract
This work presents a time-truncation scheme, based on the Lagrange interpolation polynomial, for the solution of the two-dimensional scalar wave problem by the time-domain boundary element method. The aim is to reduce the number of stored matrices, due to the convolution integral performed from the initial time to the current time, and to keep a compromise between computational economy and efficiency and the numerical accuracy. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed formulation, three examples are presented and discussed at the end of the article.
Key Words
truncation strategy; boundary element method; scalar wave equation; TD-BEM.
