Summary :

Transient solution of convective diffusion equation in s dimension (s1, 2 or 3) is formulated by boundary integral equation. Fundamental solution to the convective diffusion operator is also presented in uniform velocity field. In particular, the one-dimensional case (s1) is treated because a discussion on the stability of transient solution is very important in practical applications. For discretization of the integral equation, constant and linear elements in time and constant elements in space (internal cells) are employed. A simple time-marching scheme is also developed. In numerical experiments, three model problems are considered. As the result, it is found out that the transient solution is stably calculated in time and space, and that its stability is independent upon the usual criteria that the Courant number C(vΔtx)1 and the diffusion number D(kΔtx2)1/2. In addition, a comparison with the exact solution is given, and the accuracy is discussed.
