We propose an efficient isogeometric boundary element method to address the coupling of heat conduction and radiation in homogeneous or inhomogeneous materials. The isogeometric boundary element method is used to construct irregular 2D models, which eliminate errors in model construction. The physical unknowns in the governing equations for heat conduction and radiation are discretized using an interpolation approximation, and the integral equations are finally solved by Newton–Raphson iteration; it is noteworthy that we use the radial integration method to convert the domain integrals to boundary integrals, and we combine the numerical schemes for heat conduction and radiation. The results of the three numerical cases show that the adopted algorithm can improve the computational accuracy and efficiency.
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.
