Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the application of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) to two classes of axisymmetric potential problems. In the first, the boundary conditions as well as the domain of the problem, are axisymmetric, and in the second, the boundary conditions are arbitrary. In both cases, the fundamental solutions of the governing equations and their normal derivatives, which are required in the formulation of the MFS, can be expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals. The method is tested on several axisymmetric problems from the literature and is also applied to an axisymmetric free boundary problem. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
