Investigation and numerical solution of some 3D internal Dirichlet generalized harmonic problems in finite domains

Abstract

A Dirichlet generalized harmonic problem for finite right circular cylindrical domains is considered. The term “generalized” indicates that a boundary function has a finite number of first kind discontinuity curves. It is shown that if a finite domain is bounded by several surfaces and the curves are placed in arbitrary form, then the generalized problem has a unique solution depending continuously on the data. The problem is considered for the simple case when the curves of discontinuity are circles with centers situated on the axis of the cylinder. An algorithm of numerical solution by a probabilistic method is given, which in its turn is based on a computer simulation of the Wiener process. A numerical example is considered to illustrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed method.
