We provide an introduction to boundary element methods. Using as a model a potential problem, we present the direct method and the indirect methods based on single layer and double layer formulations to solve problems in two and three dimensions. We also discuss the application of boundary element methods to acoustic scattering and radiation problems, fluid mechanics and linear elastostatics. Finally, we show some basis techniques to couple boundary element methods with finite element methods, so that the applicability of these techniques can be widened.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
There will be no changes.
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
All.
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
None.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
E-mail: The teacher will check it every day in order to solve quick questions, fix virtual meetings to solve students doubts and to follow the development of the supervised projects.
Teams: There will be two weekly sessions to advance in the contents and supervised projects. These sessions will take place within the assigned timetable.It is possible to fix virtual meetings to solve possible doubts.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
None.
*Evaluation observations:
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
None. The working materials will be given to students through e-mail or via Teams.
