Boundary Element Methods in Heat Transfer

Boundary Element Methods in Heat Transfer edited by Wrobel, C.A. Brebbia.

Heat transfer problems in industry are usually of a very complex nature, simultaneously involving different transfer modes such as conduction, convection, radiation and others. Because of this, very few problems can be solved analytically and one generally has to resort to numerical analysis. The bo...
