  • The boundary element method (BEM) is often used in engineering to model complex physical phenomena.

Examples

  • The solution is achieved using the AEM, which converts the coupled PDEs into three uncoupled linear PDEs that can be solved by the classical BEM.

  • To improve the ability of BEM in solving these problems, several treatment methods have been proposed, such as the fast multipole BEM 2, 5, 6 and the wave boundary elements 7, which may make the BEM more efficient for solving interior acoustic problems.

  • Using the BEM allows researchers to accurately predict how structures will respond to various environmental conditions.

  • Many simulations in computational mechanics employ the BEM to simplify the analysis of boundary-related problems.

Etymology

BEM stands for Boundary Element Method, a name that shows it works with the 'boundaries' or outer surfaces of a problem. That's why this method only divides the surface, which can make some calculations faster.
