Abstract
In this paper, the authors present a more efficient and robust implementation of conventional and hypersingular BIEs for potential problems in three dimensions under the framework of boundary face method (BFM). The focus is laid on the accurate evaluation of singular curved surface integrals, and three aspects related are considered simultaneously: (a) the near singularity caused by distorted element shape; (b) the near singularity derived from the angular direction; (c) the singularity in the radial direction. A conformal polar coordinate transformation (CPCT) is employed to eliminate the shape effect of distorted integration cells, which can retain the shape characteristic. Besides, an improved sigmoidal transformation is introduced to alleviate the near singularity in the angular direction. By combination of the two strategies with previous singularity subtraction method, an efficient numerical integration scheme has been obtained for various orders of singularities. Some numerical examples including parallelogram plate, sphere and hollow cylinder examples with coarse meshes are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and flexibility of the proposed method.
