I have started working on creating my own simulation of heat conduction. I hope to create an interactive flash program which the user can play with to visually and numerically see how conduction occurs in a 3 dimensional object, initially a cube. To get to grips with the basic physics of it I setup an [...]

The following is my summary of relevant parts of a wikipedia article on Heat Conduction and other bits and pieces of information. Conduction is one of the three ways in which heat can be transferred, the other ways being convection and radiation. Conduction can simply be thought of as heat transfer by “touch”, and only can [...]
