A boundary integral equation method for the fluid-solid interaction problem

Abstract

In this paper, a boundary integral equation method is proposed for the fluid-solid interaction scattering problem, and a high-precision numerical method is developed. More specifically, by introducing the Helmholtz decomposition, the corresponding problem is transformed into a coupled boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation. Based on the integral equation method, the coupled value problem is reduced to a system of three coupled hypersingular integral equations. Semi-discrete and fully-discrete collocation methods are proposed for the singular integral equations. The presented method is based on trigonometric interpolation and discretized singular operators applied to differentiated interpolation. The convergence of the method is verified by a numerical experiment.
