Abstract The use of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to formulate the 3D transient heat transfer through cylindrical structures with irregular cross-sections, bounded by a homogeneous elastic medium, is described in this paper. In this formulation, both the conduction and the convection phenomena are modeled. This system can be subjected to heat emitted by either point or line sources located somewhere in the media. The solution is first obtained in the frequency domain for a wide range of frequencies and axial wavenumbers. Time domain responses are later calculated by means of (fast) inverse Fourier transforms into More >
