Abstract This work deals with a numerical solution technique for the self-regular gradient form of Green's identity, the flux boundary integral equation (flux-BIE). The required C1,α inter-element continuity conditions for the potential derivatives are imposed in the boundary element method (BEM) code through a non-symmetric variational formulation. In spite of using Lagrangian C0 elements, accurate numerical results were obtained when applied to heat transfer problems with singular or quasi-singular conditions, like boundary points and interior points which may be arbitrarily close to the boundary. The numerical examples proposed show that the developed algorithm based on the self-regular flux-BIE are highly efficient,… More >
