Boundary Element Method

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a computational technique used to solve complex physical problems, such as heat transfer, acoustics, or elasticity, by focusing on the problem’s boundaries rather than its entire volume. Instead of analyzing every point inside a object, BEM simplifies the problem to equations on the surface, reducing computational effort. It transforms the original issue into a boundary problem, making simulations more efficient, especially for problems with infinite or large domains. This method is widely used in engineering for accurate predictions with less computational resources.
