Abstract
A modification to the finite difference equations is proposed in modeling multidimensional flows in an anisotropic material. The method is compared to the control volume version of the Taylor expansion and the finite element formulation derived from the Galerkin weak statement. For the same number of nodes, the proposed finite difference formulation approaches the accuracy of the finite element method. For the two-dimensional case, the effect on accuracy and solution stability is approximately the same as quadrupling the number of nodes for the Taylor expansion with only a proportionately small increase in the number of computations. Excellent comparisons are made with a new limiting case exact solution modeling anisotropic heat conduction and a transient, anisotropic conduction experiment from the literature.
