The thermal problem of functionally graded materials (FGM) under linear heat source is studied by a hybrid numerical method. The accuracy of the analytical method and the efficiency of the finite element method are taken into account. The volume fraction of FGM in the thickness direction can be changed by changing the gradient parameters. Based on the weighted residual method, the heat conduction equation under the third boundary condition is established. The temperature distribution of FGM under the action of linear heat source is obtained by Fourier transform. The results show that the closer to the heat source it is, the greater the influence of the heat source is and the influence of the heat source is local. The temperature change trend of the observation points is consistent with the heat source, showing a linear change. The results also show that the higher the value of gradient parameter is, the higher the temperature of location point is. The temperature distribution of observation points is positively correlated with gradient parameter. When the gradient parameter value exceeds a certain value, it has a little effect on the temperature change in the model and the heat conduction in the model tends to be pure metal heat conduction, the optimal gradient parameters combined the thermal insulation property of ceramics and the high strength toughness of metals are obtained.

The conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) method, an accurate and efficient explicit numerical method for resolving moving discontinuities in fluid mechanics problems, is used to solve three-dimensional phase-change problems. Several isothermal phase-change cases are studied and comparisons are made to existing analytical solutions. The CE/SE method is found to be accurate, robust, and efficient for the numerical modeling of phase-change problems.

AbstractThe replacement of the second space derivative by finite differences reduces the simplest form of heat conduction equation to a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. These equations can be solved analytically by utilizing the spectral resolution of the matrix formed by their coefficients. For explicit boundary conditions the solution provides a direct numerical method of solving the original partial differential equation and also gives, as limiting forms, analytical solutions which are equivalent to those obtainable by using the Laplace transform. For linear implicit boundary conditions the solution again provides a direct numerical method of solving the original partial differential equation. The procedure can also be used to give an iterative method of solving non-linear equations. Numerical examples of both the direct and iterative methods are given.
