Abstract
A novel boundary element method based on subdivision surfaces is applied to simulate wave scattering problems governed by the Helmholtz equation. The Loop subdivision scheme widely used in the CAD (computer aided design) field is applied to represent the geometric model and approximate physical field variables. The novelty of this work is that it is the first time to apply the fast multipole method for subdivision surface boundary element method to accelerate the solution of the system of equations. It is demonstrated that the subdivision surfaces boundary element method based on the Loop subdivision scheme performs well in terms of accuracy, and automatically provides multiresolution subdivision hierarchy models to meet the requirements of different precision. This approach is then applied to several real-world applications to illustrate the potential for integrated engineering analysis.
