A new boundary meshfree method with distributed sources. (English) Zbl 1244.65189
Summary: A new boundary meshfree method, to be called the boundary distributed source (BDS) method, is presented in this paper that is truly meshfree and easy to implement. The method is based on the same concept in the well-known method of fundamental solutions (MFS). However, in the BDS method the source points and collocation points coincide and both are placed on the boundary of the problem domain directly, unlike the traditional MFS that requires a fictitious boundary for placing the source points. To remove the singularities of the fundamental solutions, the concentrated point sources can be replaced by distributed sources over areas (for 2D problems) or volumes (for 3D problems) covering the source points. For Dirichlet boundary conditions, all the coefficients (either diagonal or off-diagonal) in the systems of equations can be determined analytically, leading to very simple implementation for this method. Methods to determine the diagonal coefficients for Neumann boundary conditions are discussed. Examples for 2D potential problems are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of this new meshfree boundary-node method.
