A Finite Difference Scheme for the Heat Conduction Equation
Abstract
A symmetrical semi-implicit (SSI) difference scheme is formulated for the heat conduction equation. The scheme is easy to code, fast and quite accurate. The advantage of the scheme appears mainly when used for large, complicated, multidimensional grids and for nonlinear problems.
