Abstract

The complex variable boundary element-free method (CVBEFM) is a meshless method that takes the advantages of both boundary integral equations (BIEs) in dimension reduction and the complex variable moving least squares (CVMLS) approximation in element elimination. The CVBEFM is developed in this paper for solving 3D problems. This paper is an attempt in applying complex variable meshless methods to 3D problems. Formulations of the CVMLS approximation on 3D surfaces and the CVBEFM for 3D potential and Helmholtz problems are given. In the current implementation, the CVMLS shape function of 3D problems is formed with 1D basis functions, and the boundary conditions in the CVBEFM can be applied directly and easily. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the method.
