Another alternative BIE that can be applied to mold cooling analysis is to use time-dependent fundamental solutions (e.g., Qiao 2005). The boundary integral equation can be written as... 

As has been mentioned in Sect. 7.3, the continuous injection-molding operation results in a cyclic heat transfer behavior in the mold, after a short transient period. The cycle-averaged temperature can be represented by a steady state heat conduction equation, i.e., Eq. 7.10. The mold cooling analysis can be greatly simplihed by solving the steady state problem. The boundary integral equation of ( 7.10) is...

The null-field method leads to a nonsingular integral equation of the first kind. However, in the framework of the surface integral equation method, the transmission boundary-value problem can be reduced to a pair of singular integral equations of the second kind [97]. These equations are formulated in terms of two surface fields which are treated as independent unknowns. In order to elucidate the difference between the null-field method and the surface integral equation method we follow the analysis of Martin and Ola [155] and review the basic boundary integral equations for the transmission boundary-value problem. We consider the vector potential Aa with density a... 

Several approximate methods exist for solving the boundary layer equations. The momentum-integral method of analysis is an important method. The principal steps of the method are listed below. 

In order to illustrate how these integral equations are derived, attention will be given to two-dimensional, constant fluid property flow. First, consider conservation of momentum. It is assumed that the flow consists of a boundary layer and an outer inviscid flow and that, because the boundary layer is thin, the pressure is constant across the boundary layer. The boundary layer is assumed to have a distinct edge in the present analysis. This is shown in Fig. 2.20. 

The boundary-layer equations may be solved by the technique outlined in Appendix B or by the integral method of Chap. 5. Eckert and Hartnett [3] have developed a comprehensive set Of solutions for the transpiration-cooling problem, and we present the results of their analysis without exploring the techniques employed for solution of the equations. 

Integral Equation Solutions. As a consequence of the quasi-steady approximation for gas-phase transport processes, a rigorous simultaneous solution of the governing differential equations is not necessary. This mathematical simplification permits independent analytical solution of each of the ordinary and partial differential equations for selected boundary conditions. Matching of the remaining boundary condition can be accomplished by an iterative numerical analysis of the solutions to the governing differential equations. 

In this section we will consider again the influence of induced currents on the behavior of the quadrature component of the magnetic field on the borehole axis when the formation has a finite thickness. However, unlike the previous sections we will proceed from the results of calculations based on a solution of integral equations with respect to tangential components of the field. This method of the solution of the value of the boundary problem has been described in detail in Chapter 3. This analysis is mainly based on numerical modeling performed by L. Tabarovsky and V. Dimitriev. 

In a similar fashion, the integral momentum analysis method used for the turbulent hydrodynamic boundary layer in Section 3.10 can be used for the thermal boundary layer in turbulent flow. Again, the Blasius 7-power law is used for the temperature distribution. These give results that are quite similar to the experimental equations as given in Section 4.6. 

For preliminary inveshgahons the sinusoidal distribution is useful. For more accurate analysis, however, the MoM is required. The MoM solves an integral equation for the current distribution required to satisfy the boundary condihons on the surface of the antenna wires. There are several user friendly software packages available for the analysis of complex antenna geometries.
