to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

A discrete technique of the Schwarz alternating method is presented in this last chapter, to combine the Ritz-Galerkin and finite element methods. This technique is well suited for solving singularity problems in parallel, and requires a little more computation for large overlap of subdomains. The convergence rate of the iterative procedure, which depends upon overlap of subdomains, will be studied. Also a balance strategy will be proposed to couple the iteration number with the element size used in the FEM. For the crack-infinity problem of singularity the total CPU time by the technique in this chapter is much less than that by the nonconforming combination in Chapter 12.

Integral transforms and their applications

Plane wave discontinuous Galerkin (PWDG) methods are a class of Trefftz-type methods for the spatial discretization of boundary value problems for the Helmholtz operator $-\Delta-\omega^2$, $\omega>0$. They include the so-called ultra weak variational formulation from [O. Cessenat and B. Despres, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 35 (1998), pp. 255-299]. This paper is concerned with the a priori convergence analysis of PWDG in the case of $p$-refinement, that is, the study of the asymptotic behavior of relevant error norms as the number of plane wave directions in the local trial spaces is increased. For convex domains in two space dimensions, we derive convergence rates, employing mesh skeleton-based norms, duality techniques from [P. Monk and D. Wang, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 175 (1999), pp. 121-136], and plane wave approximation theory.

Plane Wave Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for the 2D Helmholtz Equation: Analysis of the $p$-Version

An analytical model is presented for sound radiation from a semi-infinite unflanged annular duct. The duct carries a jet which issues into a uniform mean flow while an inner cylindrical centre body extends downstream from the duct exit. This geometrical arrangement forms an idealized representation of a turbofan exhaust where noise propagates along the annular bypass duct, refracts through the external bypass stream and radiates to the far field. The instability wave of the vortex sheet and its interaction with the acoustic field are accounted for in an exact way in the current solution. Efficient numerical procedures are presented for evaluating near-field and far-field solutions, and these are used as the basis for a parametric study to illustrate the effect of varying the hub–tip ratio, and the ratio of jet velocity to external flow velocity. Since the ‘Kutta’ condition can be turned on and off in the current solution, this capability is used to assess the effect of vortex shedding on noise radiation. Far-field directivity patterns are presented for single modes and also for a multi-mode ‘broadband’ source model in which all cut-on modes are assumed to be present with equal modal power. Good agreement is found between analytical solutions and experimental data. Near-field pressure maps of the acoustic and instability portions of the solution are generated for selected tones.

Computational modeling remains key to the acoustic design of various applications, but it is constrained by the cost of solving large Helmholtz problems at high frequencies. This paper presents an efficient implementation of the high-order Finite Element Method for tackling large-scale engineering problems arising in acoustics. A key feature of the proposed method is the ability to select automatically the order of interpolation in each element so as to obtain a target accuracy while minimising the cost. This is achieved using a simple local a priori error indicator. For simulations involving several frequencies, the use of hierarchic shape functions leads to an efficient strategy to accelerate the assembly of the finite element model. The intrinsic performance of the high-order FEM for 3D Helmholtz problem is assessed and an error indicator is devised to select the polynomial order in each element. A realistic 3D application is presented in detail to demonstrate the reduction in computational costs and the robustness of the a priori error indicator. For this test case the proposed method accelerates the simulation by an order of magnitude and requires less than a quarter of the memory needed by the standard FEM.
