Abstract
Boundary value problems (BVPs) of anisotropic and exponentially-graded media governed by a diffusion convection-reaction (DCR) equation are considered. The governing equation is of spatially varying coefficients (with an anisotropic diffusion coefficient). The variable coefficients equation is firstly transformed into a constant coefficients equation, from which we derive a boundary integral equation. A boundary element method (BEM) is then constructed to be used for finding numerical solutions to the BVPs. For the computation of the solutions a FORTRAN code is developed. Some examples of problems are solved. The numerical solutions obtained verify the validity of the analysis used to construct the boundary element method with accurate and consistent solutions. The results also show that the BEM procedure elapses very efficient time in producing the solutions. In addition, the results indicate the effect of anisotropy of the media on the solutions.
