ABSTRACT

In this paper, a problem involving two-dimensional diffusion equation is considered. The problem may be solved numerically using a Laplace Transform Dual Rec-iprocity Method (LTDRM). To apply the method, the diffusion equation is transformed in-to an equation in Laplace space. The resulted equation is solved numerically following the technique of dual reciprocity element method. The LTDRM is tested on a problem involving diffusion equation. Results obtained are then compared to the corresponding analytic solutions to check the accuracy of the numerical solutions.
