Application of Collocation Method Using Nurbs Basis Functions for 1-D Heat Transfer Problems

Author : Suresh Arjula 1

Date of Publication :21st February 2018

Abstract: The present work involves in the use the NURBS basis functions, with varying degree, as the basis functions in Collocation Method. A comprehensive step-by-step procedure for using NURBS Collocation method is developed and documented for applying this method to heat transfer problems. This method is applied to 1-D conductive Heat Transfer through the slab. The results obtained with NURBS Collocation Method are closed to the exact solution. The solution obtained by collocation method is found to be accurate and far simpler to solve than many available approximate methods.
