โฆ Synopsis
We present a collocation approach to the numerical solution of the Helmholtz eigenvalue problem on multiply connected domains of arbitrary shape in two dimensions. A suitable representation of the Helmholtz equation on an uniform grid is obtained and the problem is converted to the calculation of the first few eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a large sparse matrix. The accuracy of this approach is tested by performing a comparison with results available in the literature. The flexibility and simplicity of the method make easy the application to arbitrary geometries.

The no-normal-flow condition states that the stream-function is constant at solid boundaries. For multiply connected domains these (unknown) constants differ per boundary and must be determined from integral conditions. This complicates discretization and solution of the problem considerably. In thi
