The Planar Sandwich and Other 1D Planar Heat Flow Test Problems in ExactPack

Abstract

This report documents the implementation of several related 1D heat flow problems in the verification package ExactPack. In particular, the planar sandwich class defined by Dawes et al., as well as the classes PlanarSandwichHot, PlanarSandwichHalf, and other generalizations of the planar sandwich problem, are defined and documented here. A rather general treatment of 1D heat flow is presented, whose main results have been implemented in the class Rod1D. All planar sandwich classes are derived from the parent class Rod1D.
