Domains containing an 'internal boundary', such as a bi-material interface, arise in many applications, e.g. composite materials and geophysical simulations. This paper presents a symmetric Galerkin boundary integral method for this important class of problems. In this situation, the physical quanti

✦ Synopsis
An accurate numerical visualization for streamlines of ¯uid ¯ows is a fundamental tool in computational ¯uid dynamics. However, the standard ®nite element formulation to compute streamlines suers from the disadvantage of requiring the determination of boundary integrals. This shortcoming requires the implementation of two distinct mappings in the ®nite element code, one for the interior domain employing two-dimensional elements and another with one-dimensional elements to approximate the boundary domain. In this article we introduce an ecient way to determine the streamlines for the above-mentioned ¯ows, which does not need the computation of contour integrals. In order to illustrate the good performance of the alternative formulation proposed, we capture the streamlines of two classical viscous models: Stokes and Navier±Stokes ¯ows.
