One-Dimensional Diffusion Equation

  • Chapter
Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics 1

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Computational Physics ((SSCP))

Abstract

From a computational perspective the diffusion equation contains the same dissipative mechanism as is found in flow problems with significant viscous or heat conduction effects. Consequently computational techniques that are effective for the diffusion equation will provide guidance in choosing appropriate algorithms for viscous fluid flow (Chaps. 15–18).
