2Thermal Spreading in Isotropic Half‐Space Regions

Steady or transient heat transfer occurs in a semi‐infinite region or half‐space z greater-than 0, which may be isotropic or it may consist of one or more thin isotropic layers bonded to the isotropic half‐space. The heat source is some planar singly or doubly connected area such as a circular annulus located in the “free” surface z equals 0 of the half‐space. The dimensions of the half‐space are much larger than the largest dimension of the source area. The “free” surface of the half‐space outside the source area is ...
