Area of Science:

  • Computational electromagnetics
  • Numerical methods for wave propagation

Background:

  • Classical finite-element (FEM) and boundary-element (BEM) methods face limitations in modeling wavelengths due to high variable requirements.
  • Existing methods struggle with computational complexity, especially at higher frequencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present classical FEM and BEM formulations for the Helmholtz equation and explain their limitations.
  • To introduce a new approximation using plane waves to enhance computational efficiency.
  • To demonstrate the superiority of the plane-wave basis over standard polynomial approximations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of classical finite-element and boundary-element formulations for the Helmholtz equation.
  • Development of a novel approximation by modifying shape functions with plane waves propagating in multiple directions.
