www.math.iitb.ac.in/~siva/ma51515/chapter7.pdfChapter 7 Heat Equation Partial differential equation for temperature u(x,t) in a heat conducting insulated rod along the x-axis is given by the Heat equation: ut = kuxx, x 2R, t >0 (7.1) Here k is a constant and represents the conductivity coefficient of the material used to make the rod. Since we assumed k to be constant, it also means that material properties ...

The Heat Equation: @u @t = 2 @2u @x2 2. The Wave Equation: @2u @t 2 = c2 @2u @x 3. Laplace’s Equation (The Potential Equation): @2u @x 2 + @2u @y = 0 We’re going to focus on the heat equation, in particular, a ...
The Heat Equation - IIT Delhi
web.iitd.ac.in › Oldhomepage › 1d-fund-heatThe heat equation has a scale invariance property that is analogous to scale invariance of the wave equation or scalar conservation laws, but the scaling is different. Let a > 0 be a constant. Under the scaling x → ax, t → a2t the heat equation is unchanged. More precisely, if we introduce the change of variables: t= a2t, x= ax,then the ...
