In this paper the previously developed scheme of integration by parts to treat the boundary thermal field is applied to calculate the interior thermal field. Also, the scheme is extended further to regularize the strongly singular integral appearing in the boundary integral equation for interior calculations of the heat fluxes. Moreover, the present work develops a semi-analytical integration scheme to regularize the hypersingular integral for the interior heat-flux calculations. All formulations are derived for elements of arbitrary orders with general interpolation. At the end, the veracity of the scheme is illustrated by numerical examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
