diffusion2D

Instructions for students

Please follow the instructions in pypi_exercise.md.

The code used in this exercise is based on Chapter 7 of the book "Learning Scientific Programming with Python".

Project description

This code solves the diffusion equation in 2D over a square domain which is at a certain temperature and a circular disc at the center which is at a higher temperature. This code solves the diffusion equation using the Finite Difference Method. The thermal diffusivity and initial conditions of the system can be changed by the user. The code produces four plots at various timepoints of the simulation. The diffusion process can be clearly observed in these plots.

Installing the package

Using pip3 to install from PyPI

For the default release use:

pip install --user --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ heidrifx_diffusion2d

For a pre-release version, i.e. a packed versioned by versioneer use for example:

pip install --user --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ heidrifx-diffusion2d==0.post0.dev4

Required dependencies

pip install numpy matplotlib

Running this package

from sse-diffusion2d import diffusion2d

diffusion2d.solve(dx = 0.1, dy = 0.1, D = 4)
