Waves are one of the fundamental phenomena of nature. They occur in many places, from acoustics to optics to quantum mechanics. Therefore simulations with high accuracy are much sought after. Often the domain of the problem is unbounded or too large to be completely simulated using classical techniques. This is a problem class where the boundary element method shines. The aim of this project is to better understand this method for wave propagation simulations and to improve the underlying algorithms.
