The 24 selected papers discuss the boundary element method from the perspectives of advanced formulations, advanced meshless and mesh reduction methods, electrical engineering and electromagnetics, heat and mass transfer, solid mechanics, dynamics and vibrations, and fluid flow modeling. The topics include an adaptive element subdivision technique for evaluating three-dimensional singular boundary integrals, a meshless stress analysis of non-homogeneous materials using the triple-reciprocity boundary element method, reconstructing the eddy current profile on the vacuum vessel in a nuclear fusion device using only external magnetic sensor signals, a generalization of Michell's solution to the plane problem theory of elasticity in polar coordinates in the event of a radially inhomogeneous body, and the indirect boundary element method for the two-dimensional pressure-driven and gravity-driven free surface Stokes flow.
