We discuss the implementation details and the numerical performance of the recently introduced nonconforming Trefftz virtual element method (Mascotto et al., 2018) for the 2D Helmholtz problem. In particular, we present a strategy to significantly reduce the ill-conditioning of the original method; such a recipe is based on an automatic filtering of the basis functions edge by edge, and therefore allows for a notable reduction of the number of degrees of freedom. A widespread set of numerical experiments, including an application to acoustic scattering, the h-, p-, and hp-versions of the method, is presented. Moreover, a comparison with other Trefftz-based methods for the Helmholtz problem shows that this novel approach results in robust and effective performance.

Abstract

We discuss the implementation details and the numerical performance of the recently introduced nonconforming Trefftz virtual element method (Mascotto et al., 2018) for the 2D Helmholtz problem. In particular, we present a strategy to significantly reduce the ill-conditioning of the original method; such a recipe is based on an automatic filtering of the basis functions edge by edge, and therefore allows for a notable reduction of the number of degrees of freedom. A widespread set of numerical experiments, including an application to acoustic scattering, the h-, p-, and hp-versions of the method, is presented. Moreover, a comparison with other Trefftz-based methods for the Helmholtz problem shows that this novel approach results in robust and effective performance.
