Abstract Accurate numerical evaluation of the nearly singular boundary integrals is a major concerned issue in the implementation of boundary element method (BEM). In this paper, a general distance function independent on the nearly singular point is proposed. Combined with an iteration process, the position of the nearly singular point can be obtained more easily. Then, an extended form of the sinh transformation using the general distance function, which automatically takes into account the intrinsic coordinate of the nearly singular point and the minimum distance from source point to the element in the intrinsic parameter plane, More >
