"tangential (normal)" What's up with that? —Ben FrantzDale 03:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I was linked to this page from the page on solutions to the heat equations, and I was originally searching for the method of images for the solution of electric field equations in non-homogenous volume conductors. I might contribute a section on the latter if and when my electromagnetic fields text ever arrives, but the page needs to be expanded to cover the method of images for more than a single example (superconducting magnetism). 149.171.88.37 ( talk) 05:52, 7 October 2011 (UTC) C.

I'm going to add a section on the method of images applied to mass transport in environmental flows. It's an important environmental engineering tool that's used when encountering no-flux boundary conditions. Should be up by the end of this week! Zrokeach ( talk) 03:28, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
With a perfectly-absorbing boundary, it is not actually the opposite of a perfectly-reflecting boundary (this statement is not true: "The absorption process will be just the opposite of reflection. We should add a mirror symmetry image as an addition sink, and subtract the part of the concentration that has been absorbed."). There's an extra term that accounts for the artificial "sucking" nature of the absorbing boundary. Would appreciate it if somebody corrected this. -- Zrokeach ( talk) 05:33, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Years ago someone proposed merging this article into Method of image charges. However, it would be much more logical to merge the latter into this article because the term "method of images" is far more commonly used than "method of image charges." The contents of Method of image charges could easily be incorporated because they provide good examples of applications to electrostatics. RockMagnetist ( talk) 04:25, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Should there be a separate article for mass transport in environmental flows, just like there is for the method of image charges? Zrokeach ( talk) 20:30, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Just added this section the formatting is a little wonky, so I'll play around with it so the images play nice with the article. I could use some citations for the BCs and some of the stuff about the distributions. All of it is easy to prove mathematically though without going to external source material. I'm unsure about Wikipedia's policy on this. Amsanville ( talk) 20:28, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
