The numerical solutions were approximated by superpositioning T-complete functions formulated using cylindrical harmonics. To avoid the ill-conditioned system of the CTM, the characteristic lengths and the multiple-scale Trefftz method were adopted. The results revealed that for two-dimensional problems, the CTM can provide highly accurate numerical solutions, with the accuracy increasing with the order of the terms. For three-dimensional problems, highly accurate numerical solutions can be obtained using a certain order of terms, where the order is determined by performing an accuracy assessment.
