Temperature Distribution. The temperature distribution in a thin metal plate with constant (or isothermal) temperatures on each side can be modeled using a two-dimensional grid, as shown in Figure 8.8. Typically, the number of points in the grid are specified, as are the constant temperatures on the four sides. The temperatures of the interior points are usually initialized to zero, but they change according to the temperatures around them. Assume that the temperature of an interior point can be computed as the average of the four adjacent temperatures; the points shaded in Figure 8.8 represent the adjacent temperatures for the point labeled x in the grid. Each time that the temperature of an interior point changes, the temperatures of the points adjacent to it change. These changes continue until a thermal equilibrium is achieved and all temperatures become constant.
