Trigonometrically graded media of anisotropic diffusion coefficient are under consideration. Boundary value problems (BVPs) of such kind of media, governed by a Helmholtz type equation, are solved numerically using a boundary element method (BEM). A technique of transforming the variable coefficient governing equation to a constant coefficient equation is utilized for deriving a boundary integral equation. Some particular problems are considered to illustrate the application of the BEM. The results show convergence, accuracy and consistency between the scattering and flow solutions. The results also show efficiency of the BEM procedure for producing the solutions in a short elapsed computation time length. Moreover the results indicate the effect of large wave number on the accuracy and the impact of the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of the material on the solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
