Primo, L.C. Wrobel, H. Power] This paper presents a novel formulation of the completed indirect boundary-element method to study the shrinkage of air bubbles on a slow viscous flow in a bounded region subject to surface tension. The formulation has application to viscous sintering, a process for manufacturing high-quality glass by means of sol-gel processing. The theoretical background is explained in detail, including mathematical proofs of existence and uniqueness of solutions. Numerical results are included and compared to analytical and previous numerical solutions.
