Function
Thermal transport in solids or
biological media with temperature-dependent material properties
|
Description
HeatWave applies high-accuracy finite-element methods to solve the steady-state or dynamic thermal equations. The program handles radiative boundaries, blood perfusion and materials with temperature-dependent thermal properties. In initial-value solutions you can define arbitrary time variations of thermal sources and surface temperatures. In this mode, the program can record snapshots of spatial variations or probe signals at points. The package contains three programs: 1) HeatWave creates one or more thermal solutions interactively in a window or under batch file control, 2) HWV generates 2D/3D plots and performs quantitative analyses and 3) Probe displays signals from thermal probes. Requires MetaMesh.
