Application of a direct Trefftz method with domain decomposition to 2D potential problems

摘要

This article presents an application of a direct Treats method with domain decomposition method to the two-dimensional potential problem. In the direct Trefftz methods, regular T-complete functions satisfying the governing equations are taken as the weighting functions and then, the boundary integral equations are derived from the weighted residual expressions of the governing equations. Since the compete functions are regular, the final equations are also regular and therefore, much simpler than the ordinary boundary element methods employing the singular fundament solutions. Their computational accuracy, however, is dependent on the condition number of the coefficient matrices of the algebraic system of equations. So, for improving the accuracy, we introduce the domain decomposition method to the direct Trefftz methods. The present method is applied to the two-dimensional potential problem in order to confirm the validity.
