Abstract:This study presents a semi-analytical approach to solve the Laplace equation in arbitrarily shaped two-dimensional domains. The method is meshless and addresses boundary value problems that include both pure Dirichlet and mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. The solution is obtained via a weighted superposition of harmonic polynomials which are obtained via an orthonormalization approach. We show that the approach is efficient in terms of number of operations. The numerical solution is convergent and e… Show more
