Abstract

We blend a fictitious domain decomposition method and the FETI-H substructuring algorithm to construct a fast finite element-based solver for exterior Helmholtz problems characterized by partially axisymmetric sound-hard scatterers. A key component of our method is an original idea for addressing a Neumann boundary condition in the general framework of a fictitious domain method. We demonstrate between one and two orders of magnitude reduction of the CPU time associated with the straightforward solution of such exterior Helmholtz problems, and highlight the added benefit of FETI-H to the proposed fictitious domain solution method.
