Abstract

This work presents comparisons among the numeric results obtained by the Boundary Element Method, Finite Element Method and Flux Spline Method applied to two-dimensional scalar potential problems. Cases are stationary and governed by Laplace and Poisson equations. The main purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy of mentioned methods in computational simulations. So, the applications were selected to analyze numerical behavior when some special physical and geometrical aspects are involved, such as: discontinuities in the boundary conditions, actions concentrated on specific part on the domain, non-ho
