| Abstract: |
| An algorithm combining finite element method and finite difference method of lines for potential flow problem over an infinite domain is presented. The solution domain is divided into two overlapping regions by two concentric circles, finite domain and infinite domain, and boundary value problems for Laplace Equation is solved by finite element method and finite difference method of lines respectively. The finite element equations amended by a relationship educed by finite difference method of lines are solved, and the numerical solutions of the original problem are obtained. By this algorithm, the potential flow problems over an infinite domain is converted into two problems, algebraic eigenvalue problem on a circle and linear equations problems on the limited domain, and the computation has been reduced. It is found that with the decrease of overlapping regions the calculation errors increases slightly. Although the algorithm is based on overlapping domain decomposition, repeated iteration is not needed, and the computing time was saved. Numerical example shows the correctness and convergence of the algorithm. |
