A Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model of Heat Propagation Equations and Their Significance for Soil Temperature

Abstract

In the context of the development of the research project (Boulaaras et al.) which was supported by the Deanship of Scientific Research of Qassim University under the Project No. 1140 during the academic year 2016/1437, this research will introduce a two dimensional mathematical model based on the finite elements spatial method combined with a finite differences time scheme applied to the diffusion equations. This model will be applied in the hypothetical example where the obtained results will be compared with the real experimental data. Such a comparison will allow to predict the soil temperature for different depths and at different time periods according to certain conditions on the weather and take into account the stability conditions of the used numerical method. It’s worthy of note that some of the concreted mathematical problems will be addressed by the experimental scientific theories of functional analysis and then the numerical simulation of the theoretical study will be provided thanks to sophisticated methods with more convergence and stability. This mathematical model would be reduced by means of physical measurement and also in charge of the physical cost.
