Abstract To predict the sound field in an acoustic problem, the well-known non-uniqueness problem has to be solved. In a departure from the common approaches used in the prior literature, the weak-form of the Helmholtz differential equation, in conjunction with vector test-functions, is utilized as the basis, in order to directly derive non-hyper-singular boundary integral equations for the velocity potential ∅, as well as its gradients q;. Both ∅-BIE and q-BIE are fully regularized to achieve weak singularities at the boundary [i.e., containing singularities of O(r-1)]. Collocation-based boundary-element numerical approaches [denoted as BEM-R-∅-BIE, and BEM-R-q-BIE] are implemented to More >
