Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present partial differential equations (PDEs) on surface to the community of methods of fundamental solutions (MFS). First, we present an embedding formulation to embed surface PDEs into a domain so that MFS can be applied after the PDEs is homogenized with a particular solution. Next, we discuss how the domain-MFS method can be used to directly collocate surface PDEs. Some numerical demonstrations were included to study the effect of basis functions and source point locations.
