Numerical Methods in Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer MIA 502E SPRING 2018 Homework 2

The document provides two numerical problems related to fluid flow and heat transfer. The first problem asks to develop a Crank-Nicolson scheme to solve a parabolic PDE modeling heat diffusion, and provide the numerical solution in a table for the first two time steps. The second problem asks to use an Alternating Implicit Direction method to model 2D heat conduction in a rectangular plate, and estimate the time for the center temperature to reach 30°C as well as plot the infinite-time temperature distribution.

NUMERICAL METHODS IN FLUID FLOW AND

HEAT TRANSFER

MIA 502E

SPRING 2018

Homework 2

due to April, the 4th


Question1 (50p)
Consider the following parabolic PDE:

u  2u
 x 2 for 0<x<1 [m] and t>0
t x

Develop Crank-Nicolson scheme for the determination of the u-distribution as a function of


position and time. The boundary conditions and initial condition are:

u  0, t   0 t  0
u u
 t0
x x 1 2
u  x ,0   x 1  x  0  x  1

You can take Δx = 0.1 and Δt = 2.5E-3. Fill the table with its numerical output for the first
two time steps:

i=1 i=2 i=3 i=4 i=5 i=6 i=7 i=8 i=9 i=10

Question2 (50p)

Consider the problem of the time-dependent 2D heat conduction in the 3x1 rectangular plate
shown below. Assume that initially the plate is at a room temperature of 18oC. Suppose that at
t=0, the temperature on the lower face is suddenly raised to 150oC. Estimate the time required
for the temperature of the center of the block to reach 30oC. Plot the temperature distribution
(isotherms) for t → ∞. Use Alternating Implicit Direction (ADI) obtain temperature distribution
over the plate which should be indicated in colors. Use computational domains such as 90x30
and 180x60 and compare your results for each mesh where b = 10 cm.
