Virtual Boundary Integral Method for Anisotropic Potential Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heat conduction in anisotropic materials has important applications in science and engineering. In this paper the virtual boundary element method (VBEM) is applied to solve these problems. Due to the fact of a virtual boundary outside the real boundary, the VBEM does not need to treat the singular boundary integrals, and thus, is more accurate and convenient than the traditional one. Numerical examples are presented, to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
