โฆ Synopsis
A new grid-free method for approximating incompressible thermal boundary layers is introduced. The computational elements are segments of vortex sheets which are heated. The method solves the general Prandtl boundary layer equations. More efficient methods of treating the diffusion and source terms are incorporated.
The method is applied to the parallel flow past a heated horizontal flat plate and a flow created entirely by buoyancy forces (free-convection flow) on a heated vertical flat plate.

A boundary element formulation for the solution of multiple moving boundary problems is presented and tested herein. A heat transfer problem involving heating of solid, melting of solid, and partial vaporisation of liquid is considered. Numerical results show that the boundary element method is more
