HEATING - A Multidimensional Finite-Difference Heat Conduction Code

abstract

HEATING is a general-purpose, conduction, heat
transfer program written and maintained by the Heat Transfer and Fluid
Flow Group (HTFFG). The HTFFG staff are experiences in the use of
the code and can rapidly set up and obtain solutions to problems for
which HEATING is applicable. As developers of HEATING, the
HTFFG staff are also familiar with the internal structure of the code and
can readily modify it for special applications. In fact HEATING has
served as the basis for numerous special-purpose heat transfer codes.
The four HEATING solutions in the accompanying figure illustrates
HEATING's applicability to a wide range of heat transfer problems.
