In an earlier paper [1], a simple model for investigating heat conduction in materials of irregular shapes having heterogeneous thermal conductivity was presented. In this method, referred to as the Effective Parameter for Interfacial cells (dubbed as EPIC) [2], the material is tessellated into cells (square or cubes), a cell with non-uniform thermal conductivity inside it is replaced by a cell with an effective uniform conductivity, and the heat conduction equation is then solved numerically by discretizing in time and space. The implementation of EPIC on a massively parallel SIMD machine (MasParMP-1) is described. Sample results are shown for 2-D and 3-D materials. |
