          Abstract
            
          
          In this
            paper, some time-independent diffusion-convection problems in anisotropic media
            are considered. To study the problems, the governing equation of the problems
            is transformed into a diffusion-convection equation in a homogeneous isotropic
            media. The transformed equation with respect to transformed boundary conditions
            are solved numerically using Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM).
            The method is tested using several problems involving time-independent
            diffusion-convection. Two of the problems are with analytical solution, and the
            other problems are with point sources without known analytical solution.

          Dalam makalah ini, beberapa masalah resapan-konveksi bebas masa dalam media anisotropik dipertimbangkan. Untuk mengkaji masalah, persamaan yang mengawal masalah diubah menjadi persamaan resapan-konveksi dalam media homogen isotropik. Persamaan berkenaan dengan keadaan sempadan yang diubah diselesaikan secara berangka menggunakan Kaedah Unsur Dual Kesalingan Sempadan (DRBEM). Kaedah ini diuji menggunakan beberapa masalah yang melibatkan resapan-konveksi bebas masa. Dua daripada masalah adalah dengan penyelesaian analitik dan masalah lain adalah dengan sumber mata tanpa penyelesaian analitik yang diketahui.
