The aim of the course:
The aim of the course is to introduce boundary elements method (BEM) for the discretization of the two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs). Application of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for equations containing convective and time dependent terms will also be given.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : Derive boundary integral equations for two-dimensional PDEs.1,3,
PO - 2 : Apply BEM to Laplace and Poisson equations.1,3,
PO - 3 : Apply DRBEM to time dependent problems.1,3,
PO - 4 : Make computer implementation of DRBEM to basic two-dimensional PDEs 1,3,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
