Abstract

This paper presents an efficient recursive algorithm for the evaluation of the higher-order coefficients that arise in the application of the boundary-element method to the Laplace equation. This involves the evaluation of source and doublet integrals with arbitrary intensity distributions over surface elements with arbitrary smooth geometry. The surface elements are assumed to be topologically quadrilateral (in the limit, triangular).
