Hestia.jl

Simulation of heat conduction problems in multiple dimensions with boundary control.

Hestia.jl is a Julia library to simulate controlled and uncontrolled heat conduction phenomena in multiple dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D). Hestia.jl offers many options to design your heat conduction simulation: geometry, material properties and specification of boundary sides.

Geometries:

• 1-dimensional rod of length
• 2-dimensional plate of lenght L and width W
• 3-dimensional cuboid of length L, width W, height H

Material Properties:

• temperature-independent: linear heat conduction
• temperature-dependent: quasi-linear heat conduction
• isotropic
• anisotropic

On boundary sides:

• emit heat to environment via linear heat transfer and nonlinear heat radiation
• supply heat via actuators like heating elements
• measure surface temperature

Tutorials and Examples

Tutorials can be found in the docs.
