With the rapid development of computer technology, numerical simulation
has become the third scientific research tool besides theoretical analysis and
experimental research. As the core of numerical simulation, the construction of
efficient, accurate and stable numerical methods to simulate complex scientific and
engineering problems have become a key issue in the field of computational
mechanics. This chapter outlines the application of the radial basis function method
for the simulation of large-scale and high-frequency sound wave propagation. All the
techniques and methods discussed in the book are reviewed in this chapter. This
collection can provide a reference for the simulation of other more complex wave
propagation.
