Abstract

We consider heat transfer in an infinite two-dimensional square harmonic scalar lattice lying in a viscous environment and subjected to a heat source. The basic equations for the particles of the lattice are stated in the form of a system of stochastic ordinary differential equations. We perform a continualization procedure and derive an infinite system of linear partial differential equations for covariance variables. The most important results of the paper are the deterministic differential–difference equation describing non-stationary heat propagation in the lattice and the analytical formula in the integral form for its steady-state solution describing kinetic temperature distribution caused by a point heat source of a constant intensity. The comparison between numerical solution of stochastic equations and obtained analytical solution demonstrates a very good agreement everywhere except for the main diagonals of the lattice (with respect to the point source position), where the analytical solution is singular.
