Solution of the two dimensional transient heat conduction equation through the finite element method and the Saul'ev method for time derivation
Abstract
The finite element method (FEM) is used for the solution of the two dimensional transient heat conduction equation. The time derivation is approximated by use of Saul'ev - ADE - method, which is modified for the FEM. Improvement to the method permits the use of any triangular element. The realization of the method is based on a modified version of the program DIFGEN which solves the neutron diffusion equation.
