Abstract
A multipole expansion approximation boundary element method (MEA BEM) based on the hierarchical matrices (H-matrices) and the multipole expansion theory was proposed previously. Though the MEA BEM can obtain higher accuracy than the adaptive cross-approximation BEM (ACA BEM), it demands more CPU time and memory than the ACA BEM does. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, two hybrid BEMs are developed taking advantage of the high efficiency and low memory consumption property of the ACA BEM and the high accuracy advantage of the MEA BEM. Numerical examples are elaborately set up to compare the accuracy, efficiency and memory consumption of the ACA BEM, MEA BEM and hybrid methods. It is indicated that the hybrid BEMs can reach the same level of accuracy as the ACA BEM and MEA BEM. The efficiency of each hybrid BEM is higher than that of the MEA BEM but lower than that of the ACA BEM. The memory consumptions of the hybrid BEMs are larger than that of the ACA BEM but less than that of the MEA BEM. The algorithm used to approximate the far-field submatrices corresponding to the cells and their nearest interactional cells determines the accuracy, efficiency and memory consumption of the hybrid BEMs. The proposed hybrid BEMs have both operation and storage logarithmic-linear complexity. They are feasible.
期刊介绍:
Currently known as Journal of Theoretical and Computational Acoustics (JTCA).The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics. Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of high quality papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational acoustics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research in which other than strictly computational arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments. Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Computational Mathematical Methods, Scientific Computing, and their applications. Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication. The journal will occasionally publish significant contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers. Special issues which report results of high quality workshops in related areas and monographs of significant contributions in the Series of Computational Acoustics will also be published.
