The multipole expansion is an approximation technique used to evaluate the potential field due to sources located in the far field. Based on the multipole expansion, we describe a new technique to calculate the far potential field due to ring sources which are encountered in the boundary element method (BEM) formulation of axisymmetric problems. As the sources in the near field are processed by the slower conventional BEM, it is important to maximize the amount of multipole calculations taking advantage of both interior and exterior multipole expansions. Numerical results are presented for an axisymmetric potential test problem with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. The complexity of the proposed method remains O(N2), which is equal to that of the conventional BEM. However, the proposed technique coupled with an iterative solver speeds up the solution procedure. The technique is significantly advantageous when medium and large numbers of elements are present in the domain.
