The main advantage of the BEM isits unique ability to provide a complete solution in terms ofboundary values only, with substantial savings in modelling effort.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis two-volume book set is designed to provide the readers with acomprehensive and up-to-date account of the boundary element methodand its application to solving engineering problems. Each volume isa self-contained book including a substantial amount of materialnot previously covered by other text books on the subject. Volume 1covers applications to heat transfer, acoustics, electrochemistryand fluid mechanics problems, while volume 2 concentrates on solidsand structures, describing applications to elasticity, plasticity,elastodynamics, fracture mechanics and contact analysis. The earlychapters are designed as a teaching text for final yearundergraduate courses. Both volumes reflect the experience of theauthors over a period of more than twenty years of boundary element research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume, \u003ci\u003eApplications in Thermo-Fluids and Acoustics\u003c\/i\u003e, provides acomprehensive presentation of the BEM from fundamentals to advancedengineering applications and encompasses:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSteady and transient heat transfer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePotential and viscous fluid flows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency and time-domain acoustics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCorrosion and other electrochemical problems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA unique feature of this book is an in-depth presentation of BEMformulations in all the above fields, including detaileddiscussions of the basic theory, numerical algorithms and practicalengineering applications of the method.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by an internationally recognised authority in the field,this is essential reading for postgraduates, researchers andpractitioners in civil, mechanical and chemical engineering andapplied mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eLuiz Carlos Wrobel\u003c\/b\u003e, Brazilian civil engineer.
