Abstract

The singular boundary method (SBM) is a novel boundary-type meshless method based on the fundamental solution of the given governing equation. The SBM employs the origin intensity factors to circumvent the singularities resulting from the fundamental solutions. In this paper, we investigate the acoustic problems with boundary singularities using the SBM. This is achieved by combining the SBM with the singularity subtraction techniques where the solution is decomposed into the singular solution and the regular solution. The singular solution is derived analytically which satisfies the governing equation and the corresponding boundary conditions containing the singularities. Then the regular solution is obtained by the SBM. Numerical examples show the excellent performance of the proposed technique.
