Solution of 2D Heat Conduction Equation
Diffusion is an important phenomena that occurs in fluid flow. The Navier-Stokes equation contains a diffusion term. So it is essential to understand how to discretize and simulate such phenomena in order to gain deeper insights into the Navier-Stokes equation. And in this project you do exactly that. You take up a diffusion problem such as the 2D heat conduction and learn how to solve the steady and unsteady forms of the equation by employing Finite Difference method. You will learn to implement the explicit and implicit approaches for transient simulation. You will also learn how to implement iterative solvers to solve simultaneous equations that arise in steady and transient implicit approaches. You will then perform a convergence study on the iterative solvers and conduct a stability analysis for implicit and explicit solutions.
