We consider progressive waves such that the time independent potential satisΓΏes the Helmholtz equation, for example, the travelling wave di racted from a body. In order to model the wave potential using ΓΏnite elements it is usual to discretize the domain such that there are about ten nodal points pe

The wave envelope element method, due to Astley,' is applied to a simple one-dimensional example problem. It is shown that the method yields the exact answer and it is concluded that the method has a number of profound advantages.
A novel family of infinite wave envelope elements is described which can be used in conjunction with conventional finite elements to model the transient wave equation in unbounded regions. The elements are obtained by applying an inverse Fourier transformation to a mapped wave envelope formulation i
This paper describes a family of axisymmetric, spheroidal 'wave envelope' elements for modelling exterior wave problems. They are of variable radial order and can be used to represent steady and transient wave fields. The formulation is presented for the axisymmetric case using elements which are ba
