Question

The finite difference formulation of steady two-dimensional heat conduction in a medium with heat generation and
constant thermal conductivity is given by

Tm−1,n − 2Tm,n + Tm+1,n Tm,n−1 − 2Tm,n + Tm,n+1 ėm,n

Step 1 1 of 2

To express the finite difference formulation for the three-dimensional case, we need to add the difference for the
third dimension, which is z , and another index to the temperature because it varies with three dimensions for this
problem.
