Boundary element methods for unsteady convective heat diffusion

Abstract

Higher-order boundary element methods are presented for time-dependent convective diffusion in two dimensions. The time-dependent convective diffusion free-space fundamental solutions are used to obtain the boundary integral formulation. Boundary element method solutions up to Peclet number 104are obtained for an example problem of plume propagation. We investigate the convergence rate and accuracy of the higher-order boundary element formulations. An extremely high accuracy of the boundary element solutions for highly convective flows is demonstrated.
