Finite difference scheme for hyperbolic heat conduction with continuous and pulsed heat sources
Abstract
The temperature distribution in a region of a one dimensional (1D) semi-infinite slab as defined by the hyperbolic heat equation, is modelled by utilizing the finite-difference approximation for partial-differential equations. The distribution is observed for both pulsed and continuous heat sources for a homogenous medium. The stability of the numerical scheme is determined via the Von-Neumann stability criteria.
