Resumen
Based on many previous experiments, the most efficient explicit and stable numerical method to solve heat conduction problems is the leapfrog-hopscotch scheme. In our last paper, we made a successful attempt to solve the nonlinear heat conduction?convection?radiation equation. Now, we implement the convection and radiation terms in several ways to find the optimal implementation. The algorithm versions are tested by comparing their results to 1D numerical and analytical solutions. Then, we perform numerical tests to compare their performance when simulating heat transfer of the two-dimensional surface and cross section of a realistic wall. The latter case contains an insulator layer and a thermal bridge. The stability and convergence properties of the optimal version are analytically proved as well.
