What Does BEM Stand For?
BEM stands for Boundary Element Method
The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a numerical computational technique used for solving partial differential equations that arise in engineering and physical sciences. It focuses on reducing the dimensionality of problems by transforming them into boundary integral equations, allowing for the analysis of behavior within a domain by only addressing its boundaries. BEM is particularly advantageous for problems involving infinite or semi-infinite domains, as it requires a smaller number of unknowns compared to traditional finite element methods, leading to potential savings in computational resources and time. Applications of BEM include acoustics, fluid dynamics, and structural analysis, among others.
