Notes:
This paper describes the application of the boundary element method to solving two-dimensional steady slow viscous flow problems (creeping flow) in thermal silicon oxidation. The proposed method used the velocity-pressure formulation. The use of the incompressibility condition as a boundary condition and the application of the second Green's identity to transform the domain integral into a boundary integral result in a system of three boundary integral equations for velocity components and pressure. Solution of this system to be an ill-posed problem because of the presence of boundary conditions of the first kind. Two methods of regularization are employed. The numerical results for trench oxidation process are presented.
