The Complex Variable Boundary Element Method or CVBEM is a numerical technique for approximating particular partial differential equations such as the Laplace or Poisson equations(which frequently occur in physics and engineering problems,among many other fields of study).The advantage in using the CVBEM over traditional domain methods such as finite difference or finite element based methods includes the properties that the resulting CVBEM approximation is a function:(i)defined throughout the entire plane,(ii)that is analytic throughout the problem domain and almost everywhere on the problem boundary and exterior of the problem domain union boundary;(iii)is composed of conjugate two-dimensional real variable functions that are both solutions to the Laplace equation and are orthogonal suchastoprovidethe‘‘flownet’’ofpotentialandstreamfunctions,amongmanyother features.Inthispaper,aprocedureisadvancedthatlocatesCVBEMnodalpointlocationsonand exterior oftheproblemboundarysuchthaterrorinmatchingproblemboundaryconditionsisreduced.
