Abstract
Freeβsurface boundary is not only unknown in a priori but also the boundary conditions are overspecified. In this paper, the Laplace problem with overspecified boundary conditions on the free surface is solved by using the hypersingular equation instead of singular equation used conventionally in boundary element method. The free surface can be determined using an iterative procedure starting from an initial guess. By introducing the hypersingular equation, the convergence rate of free surface can be accelerated. Finally, numerical examples including rectangular dams and canals were demonstrated and were compared with others to show the validity of the present method. Copyright Β© 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A new variational inequality formulation for seepage problems with free surfaces is presented, in which a boundary condition of Signorini's type is prescribed over the potential seepage surfaces. This makes the singularity of seepage points eliminated and the location of seepage points determined ea
A new method is described for the iterative solution of two-dimensional free-surface problems, with arbitrary initial geometries, in which the interior of the domain is represented by an unstructured, triangular Eulerian mesh and the free surface is represented directly by the piecewise-quadratic ed
