Quadrature for second-order triangles in the Boundary Element Method

Abstract

A quadrature method for second-order, curved triangular elements in the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is presented, based on a polar coordinate transformation, combined with elementary geometric operations. The numerical performance of the method is presented using results from solution of the Laplace equation on a cat's eye geometry which show an error of order P-1.6, where P is the number of elements.
