A Practical Guide to Boundary Element Methods with the Software Library BEMLIB

by C. Pozrikidis

Overview

The boundary-element method is a powerful numerical technique for solving partial differential equations encountered in applied mathematics, science, and engineering. The strength of the method derives from its ability to solve with notable efficiency problems in domains with complex and possibly evolving geometry where traditional methods can be d

Editorial Reviews

This textbook introduces the fundamental principles of the boundary element method and its application to solving problems that involve elliptic partial differential equations. The second half of the book is a user guide to the BEMLIB library, which is a collection of Fortran 77 programs and subroutines related to Green's functions and boundary element methods for Laplace's equation, Helmholtz's equation, and Stokes flow.
