Abstract: | The boundary element method (BEM) has been recognized by its unique feature of requiring neither internal cells nor their associated domain integrals in the computation. The method preserves its elegance for transient problems by means of a certain time-stepping scheme that initiates the time integration always from the initial time. Unfortunately, this time-marching scheme becomes rather difficult to apply, because the computation time and storage requirement grow dramatically with the increasing number of time steps. This paper shows that a reduction of one half of the computation time as well as the storage requirement can be achieved by an efficient truncation scheme for two-dimensional transient wave propagation problems. In particular, a guiding parameter for the determination of the truncation limit is proposed, and the overall measure of the error with respect to the truncation guide parameter is established. |
