Isogeometric boundary element method for steady-state heat transfer with concentrated/surface heat sources

An isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) is proposed for solving the steady-state heat transfer problems with concentrated/surface internal heat sources. The isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) possesses the advantages of both the isogeometric analysis (IGA) and the boundary element method (BEM), the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) basis functions used in the (computer-aided design) CAD system are flexible and stable in...
