Description:

Transient one-dimensional heat conduction solved by finite difference method

What can be modified:

• mesh size,
• time step length,
• initial conditions,
• used difference scheme,

Comments

• both thermal conductivity and thermal capacity are considered as equal to one
• both ends of 1D region is prescribed to 0

Notice:

• influence of parametar μ=τ/h² on the stability a accuracy of different schemes,
• influence of initial conditions on stability of different schemes,
• stability of "more accurate" twostep schemes.
