A hybrid spectral element method for the time domain solution of wave scattering problems. / Richard Wyn Davies

Swansea University Author: Richard Wyn Davies

Abstract

This thesis considers the development and analysis of a hybrid spectral element method for the solution of two-dimensional wave scattering problems in the time domain. The components, namely a quadrilateral formulation of the diagonal mass matrix spectral element method and a triangular formulation...
