Seamless integration of computer-aided geometric modeling and acoustic simulation: Isogeometric boundary element methods based on Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces

Isogeometric boundary element method is a computer simulation algorithm that can directly utilize the data of a geometric model represented by its surface. Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces are a widely used technique in 3D computer graphics to construct complicated geometries. In the present work, we combine Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces with isogeometric boundary element method to simulate acoustic propagation in semi-infinite domains....
