Wu, Yinlin; Zhu, Jialin; Wang, Xuehai; Zhang, Yongxing Galerkin boundary element method for Dirichlet problem of 2D heat conduction. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1212.65361 J. Sichuan Norm. Univ., Nat. Sci. 32, No. 4, 427-431 (2009). Summary: The Dirichlet problem of the two-dimensional heat conduction equation is considered. By adopting the time-dependent fundamental solution, an indirect boundary integral equation and its equivalent Galerkin variational formula which is based on simple layer potential, a solution for the equation is obtained. The method is involved with quadruple integral calculation on space-time. Under the condition that the equation is discretized by adopting a constant cell, the integral formulas needed by actualizing a numerical calculation are deduced. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed method.
