fd1d_heat_explicit_test


fd1d_heat_explicit_test, a MATLAB code which calls fd1d_heat_explicit(), which solves the time-dependent 1D heat equation, using the finite difference method in space, and an explicit version of the method of lines to handle integration in time.

fd1d_heat_explicit, a MATLAB code which uses the finite difference method (FDM) and explicit time stepping to solve the time dependent heat equation in 1D.

Source Code:

TEST01 runs with initial condition 50 everywhere, boundary conditions of 90 on the left and 70 on the right, and no right hand side source term.

TEST02 uses an exact solution of g(x,t) = exp ( - t ) .* sin ( sqrt ( k ) * x ).

TEST03 runs on the interval -5 <= X <= 5, with initial condition 15 on the entire left and 25 on the entire right. The solution should settle down to a straight line from the left boundary to the right.
