Everything about Boundary element method

Method of solving linear partial differential equations

The boundary element method (BEM) is a numerical computational method of solving linear partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in engineering and mathematical modeling. It is similar to the more widely used finite element method, in that it breaks down the object of study into a series of points in space and then iteratively applies calculations at the points.
