Abstract

The traditional finite element method (FEM) could only provide acceptable numerical solutions for the Helmholtz equation in the relatively small wave number range due to numerical dispersion errors. For the relatively large wave numbers, the corresponding FE solutions are never adequately reliable. With the aim to enhance the numerical performance of the FEM in tackling the Helmholtz equation, in this work an extrinsic enriched FEM (EFEM) is proposed to reduce the inherent numerical dispersion errors in the standard FEM solutions. In this extrinsic EFEM, the standard linear approximation space in the linear FEM is enriched extrinsically by using the polynomial and trigonometric functions. The construction of this enriched approximation space is realized based on the partition of unity concept and the highly oscillating features of the Helmholtz equation in relatively large wave numbers can be effectively captured by the employed specially-designed enrichment functions. A number of typical numerical examples are considered to examine the ability of this extrinsic EFEM to control the dispersion error for solving Helmholtz problems. From the obtained numerical results, it is found that this extrinsic EFEM behaves much better than the standard FEM in suppressing the numerical dispersion effects and could provide much more accurate numerical results. In addition, this extrinsic EFEM also possesses higher convergence rate than the conventional FEM. More importantly, the formulation of this extrinsic EFEM can be formulated quite easily without adding the extra nodes. Therefore, the present extrinsic EFEM can be regarded as a competitive alternative to the traditional finite element approach in dealing with the Helmholtz equation in relatively high frequency ranges.
