Addendum to eigenvalue method for solving transient heat conduction problems

Journal Article · · Numer. Heat Transfer; (United States)

Computer time comparisons were performed between the eigenvalue method, the Crank-Nicolson method, and the fully implicit method for computing transient heat conduction in a two- and a three-dimensional problem. It was found that a large number of nodal points required excessive computer time for computation of the complete sets of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, as needed by the eigenvalue method.
