K. Elharrouni et al., GLOBAL INTERPOLATION FUNCTION-BASED DRBEM APPLIED TO DARCYS FLOW IN HETEROGENEOUS MEDIA, Engineering analysis with boundary elements, 16(3), 1995, pp. 281-285
A global interpolation function based dual reciprocity BEM is used to
solve Darcy's flow in heterogeneous media. The governing equation of p
orous media flow is transformed into a Poisson-type equation with modi
fied boundary conditions. The polynomial series based global interpola
tion functions are found to be efficient and accurate in converting th
e domain integral resulting from the Poisson equation into a boundary
one. Numerical results are compared with known exact solutions.
