Abstract

This manuscript proposed a new numerical approach to calculate steady-state thermal conduction in anisotropic solids based on the concept of cellular automata. This approach is developed without the consideration of governing partial differential equation for heat transfer. To analyze temperature distribution in an arbitrary domain, nodes instead of regular mesh are generated randomly in the domain including its boundary. Both 2 and 3-dimensional examples for steady-state problems are presented to demonstrate the novelty of this approach.
