Description
Containing the proceedings of the Fourteenth International Conference on Boundary Element Technology (BETECH), this volume should be of interest to boundary element researchers, research code developers and industrial users of novel advances in the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Almost 40 up-to-date contributions from scientists and engineers working around the world are included and these provide clear evidence of the vitality of boundary element research. The papers featured are divided under the following headings: potential problems; heat transfer; electrical problems; acoustics; fluid and fluid structure interaction; soil structure interaction; numerical techniques; industrial applications; and dual reciprocity method.
