indirect near-boundary element method

Potential field modeling by combination of near-boundary and contact elements with non-classical finite differences in a heterogeneous medium

In this paper, a generalized scheme for finding solutions of potential theory problems in two-dimensional piecewise-homogeneous media containing local regions with coordinate-dependent physical characteristics has been presented.  To describe the additional influence of these local areas, along with the indirect methods of near-boundary and contact elements, a non-classical finite-difference method based on asymmetric finite-difference relations has been used.  The software implementation of the developed approach for finding the potential of the direct current electric

Solving 3d problems of potential theory in piecewise homogeneous media by using indirect boundary and near-boundary element methods

Effective numerical-analytical approaches for solving the direct problem of electrical prospecting for the media with inclusions of arbitrary shape and constant electrical characteristics are suggested. They are based on the combination of a fundamental solution of Laplase’s equation and principal ideas of the method of boundary integral equations and that of collocation.
