The Khayat–Wilton transform efficiently and accurately integrates kernels with a 1/R singularity. It can also be used to integrate “near” 1/R singularities. However, if the observation point is pushed off the source patch plane, the resultant formulation will have a logarithmic behavior. Consequently, the integral is slow to converge. To integrate near singularities more efficiently and more accurately, a numerical integration based on the Lin‐log rule is proposed. The proposed integration method shows to be more accurate and convergence faster than the original Khayat–Wilton transform. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
