Monte Carlo solution of anisotropic heat conduction

Journal Article · · International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer
Based on the fixed-step random walk procedure a Monte Carlo algorithm for the solution of anisotropic heat conduction is presented. It is shown that the Monte Carlo solution is attainable only for a specified range of solid thermal conductivities. It is also illustrated that by following two simple clues considerable reduction in computation time may be achieved. Finally, steady-state temperature distribution, obtained by the Monte Carlo calculations, is presented for a two-dimensional anisotropic solid having simple geometry and boundary conditions.
