Thermal model for planetary science applications
Author: Paul O. Hayne
Date: September 8, 2017
This repository contains source code and examples for the heat1d
planetary thermal model. In its present form, heat1d
uses a finite difference approach to solve the one-dimensional heat equation. Key features include depth- and temperature-dependent thermophysical properties, and boundary conditions appropriate to different planetary bodies.
Implementations in three different languages are in development: C
, MATLAB
, and Python
. Each implementation is contained in its own subdirectory, with instructions for installing, running, and customizing the code.
