Heat transfer in a 1D harmonic crystal: periodic temperature
From Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
Virtual laboratory > Heat transfer in a 1D harmonic crystal > periodic temperature
Describtion
This page is an extension of the page Heat transfer in a 1D harmonic crystal. The program below allows two possibilities to set the initial temperature:
- random: the initial particle velocities are set by a random number generator;
- periodic: the initial particle velocities are set as a short-period sinusoidal wave.
Simulation: evolution of the spatial distribution of the kinetic temperature
