Abstract
The concept of thep-convergent boundary element modeling has been presented to analyze the potential problem with L-shaped domain. The details of thep-convergent boundary element formulation are discussed. These include the equations of nodal collocation for thep-convergent scheme, selection of higher order hierarchical shape functions, techniques for integrating the product of the kernel functions and corresponding shape functions, strategies for selecting collocation points used in approximating the unknowns associated with the higher order shape functions, and program organizations. A numerical example that demonstrates the performance of thep-convergent boundary element formulation is shown with respect to different arrangement of collocation points including both symmetric non-hierarchical pattern and non-symmetric hierarchical pattern.
