Abstract

The efficiency of two numerical methods for solving multidimensional problems of the theory of thermal conductivity ‒ the fractional steps method and the Liebman method - is evaluated. The efficiency of these methods is compared for the operating conditions of industrial furnaces by the example of calculating the symmetrical heating of a two-dimensional cylinder and a three-dimensional plate made of materials with different thermophysical properties (corundum, ceramic brick and carbon steel). A two-dimensional axisymmetric temperature field for a cylinder and a three-dimensional temperature field for a workpiece in the form of a parallelepiped were found by the grid method under boundary conditions of the II and III genera. The difference approximation of differential equations and boundary conditions is performed by the control volume method according to an implicit finite difference scheme. The developed algorithms for solving multidimensional problems of internal heat transfer by fractional steps and the Liebman method are implemented in the form of computer programs in the Object Pascal programming environment. When comparing the effectiveness of solving multidimensional problems with these methods, the criterion of the effectiveness of difference schemes (CERS) proposed by V.V. Bukhmirov and T.E. Sozinova was used as an optimization criterion. Nomograms are constructed to select the optimal parameters of the space-time grid and the best numerical method for solving multidimensional problems for a specific process of heating (cooling) a solid body
