Diffusion2D-Python-Package

Instructions for students

Please follow the instructions in pypi_exercise.md.

The code used in this exercise is based on Chapter 7 of the book "Learning Scientific Programming with Python".

Project description

This code solves the diffusion equation in 2D over a square domain which is at a certain temperature and a circular disc at the center which is at a higher temperature. This code solves the diffusion equation using the Finite Difference Method. The thermal diffusivity and initial conditions of the system can be changed by the user. The code produces four plots at various timepoints of the simulation. The diffusion process can be clearly observed in these plots.

Installing the package

Using pip3 to install from PyPI

pip3 install --user --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ ahmedmd_diffusion_2d

Required dependencies

• pyhton >= 3.6
• numpy
• matplotlib

Note : You should install matplotlib manually before installing ahmedmd_diffusion_2d since it is not available on test.pypi.org while numpy is installed automatically by pip. To install matplotlib manually use this command :

pip3 isntall matplotlib

Running this package

Use test.py to test the package.

Citing

This code is based on an example from the book Learning Scientific Programming with Python by Christian Hill.
