Abstract
Since 1970's, Boundary Element Method (BEM) has had a great progress in many fields. The most important advantage of BEM is dimension reduction of the physical problem by one. Based on integral equation statement of physical problems and interpolation functions of the type used in finite element, BEM has many practical application to steady linear problems. Recently, unsteady cases, especially unsteady heat conduction problems, cause the attention of many researchers. In this paper, a potential method to obtain the numerical solutions of multi-dimensional heat conduction equations by BEM is given. In solution procedure, Predholm and Volterra integral equation of the second kind must be solved numerically As results, some examples are calculated by using this method with constant elements. It is expected to extend the results of the paper to non-homogeneous and non-linear heat conduction problems
