“…Another important benefit to using IGA instead of the standard finite element method (FEM) is the comparatively reduced number of degrees of freedom (dofs) in relation to the accuracy of the approximate PDE solution [15]. Owning to these advantages, IGA has been employed to resolve problems governed by PDEs in numerous domains of application, exemplarily, structural analysis [14,44,54,56], fluid mechanics [1,5,23,31,38,61], and electromagnetics [8,9,19,20,58].…”
