Applied Scientific Research, Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

An apparent paradox concerning coordinate transformation used in the solution of equation of heat conduction for homogeneous but anisotropic solids is discussed and resolved. Results for point source solutions in stationary and moving media of infinite extent are given.
