Figure 16

Comparative analysis of analytical and BEM responses (real and imaginary parts) at grid 1, when null heat fluxes are prescribed, considering different numbers of boundary elements: (a) analytical response; (b) error using BEM (with 30 × 20 boundary elements); (c) error using BEM (with 50 × 32 boundary elements).
