A stochastic boundary element formulation is presented for the analysis of two-dimensional steady state potential flow through homogeneous domains. The operator of the governing differential equation is assumed to be random and is described by a set of correlated random variables. The perturbation method, in conjunction with the boundary element method, is employed to derive the systems of equations for the unknown boundary variables and their first and second order derivatives with respect to the random variables. These quantities are then used to calculate the desired response statistics. A number of numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the present formulations. The results obtained from the present analyses are compared with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations with 5000 samples, and a good agreement of results is observed.
