Mixed boundary element solution for three-dimensional convection- diffusion problem with a velocity profile (Q1098717)

Mixed boundary elements are employed in a discrete model of the convection-diffusion system. In the mixed element, potentials are approximated linearly, and their normal derivatives to boundaries are assumed constant. A simple iterative scheme is adopted in order to solve hybrid-type mixed boundary element equations. Simple three-dimensional models are dealt with in numerical experiments. The proposed approach gives more accurate and stable solutions compared with constant boundary elements which have been reported.
