A dual-primal variant of the FETI-H domain decomposition method is designed for the fast, parallel, iterative solution of large-scale systems of complex equations arising from the discretization of acoustic scattering problems formulated in bounded computational domains. The convergence of this iterative solution method, named here FETI-DPH, is shown to scale with the problem size, the number of subdomains, and the wave number. Its solution time is also shown to scale with the problem size. CPU performance results obtained for the acoustic signature analysis in the mid-frequency regime of mockup submarines reveal that the proposed FETI-DPH solver is significantly faster than the previous generation FETI-H solution algorithm.

Abstract The boundary element method is an established numerical tool for the analysis of acoustic pressure fields in an infinite domain. There is currently no well established method of estimating the surface pressure error distribution for an arbitrary three dimensional body. Hierarchical shape functions have been used as a highly effective form of p refinement in many finite and boundary element applications. Their ability to be used as an error estimator in acoustic analysis has never been fully exploited. This paper studies the influence of mesh density and interpolation order on several acoustic scattering problems. A hierarchical error estimator is implemented and its effectiveness verified against the spherical problem. A coarse cylindrical mesh is then refined using the new error estimator until the solution has converged. The effectiveness of this analysis is shown by comparing the error indicators derived during the analysis to the solution generated from a very fine cylindrical mesh.

Abstract A Newton-like method is designed for determining the shape or sought-after shape modifications of a scatterer from the knowledge of acoustic far-field patterns at a given number of observation points. This method distinguishes itself from existing numerical procedures by the following features: (a) exact Jacobian matrices for the linearized problems rather than approximate ones, (b) a fast numerical procedure for computing these Jacobian matrices, (c) a computationally efficient absorbing boundary condition for the finite element discretization, and (d) a numerically scalable domain decomposition methods for the fast solution of high-frequency direct acoustic scattering problems.
