Abstract
The purpose of this article is studied the application of isogeometric analysis (IGA) to two-dimensional steady state heat transfer problems in a heat sink. By using high order basis functions, NURBS basis functions, IGA is a high rate convergence approach in comparison to a traditional Finite Element Method. Moreover, the development of this method decreased the gaps between CAD and mathematical model and increased the continuity of mesh.
