✦ Synopsis

The connection algorithms used in transmission-line matrix (TLM) modelling of diffusion processes for describing boundary conditions in both link-line and link-resistor nodal configurations have been derived. The new algorithms regarding the inhomogeneous Robin condition enhance the capability of the TLM method in simulating thermal or particle diffusion phenomena. A number of boundary treatments in the existing literature have been found to be special cases of our results. The Dirichlet-type boundary condition is also discussed. TLM numerical results using the new algorithms, particularly with the link-resistor model for achieving signal synchronization, are shown to be in excellent agreement with the available analytical solutions.

We show that the general boundary condition DaWax + a@ = 0 (D is the diffusion coefficient and a is a ## constant) in TLM diffusion modelling can be expressed accurately in terms of a voltage reflection coefficient p = ( A x -a A t ) / ( A x + aAt), where Ax is the spatial resolution and At is the

An approach of using a current-controlled voltage source analogy to account for a general boundary condition of particle or thermal flux in transmission-line matrix (TLM) diffusion modelling has been developed. For mass diffusion, this boundary condition is expressed as D aClax + a C = 0, where C is

This paper reports the results of a study of an error parameter, m, which has been proposed as a measure for determining the effects on accuracy of the basic assumptions upon which TLM modelling of diffusion and heat flow has been founded. The nature of the m parameter is studied in detail by using

The standard methods for bringing a TLM di!usion model to convergence are necessary but tedious. However, much time and e!ort can be saved if the initial choices of elemental size and iteration timestep are appropriate. Here we consider the general form of the solution to the di!usion equation and s

Existing methods for time step control in TLM diffusion modelling that are based on the 'm' parameter introduced by Pulko are shown to be inappropriate for problems where the load conditions are arbitrarily time-varying. A new parameter is proposed for monitoring the error in the TLM diffusion model

Redundancy in the simplest form of a two-dimensional TLM network is identified and a method of eliminating it is described. Results obtained using the non-redundant algorithm are compared with those derived from the standard, redundant algorithm. The non-redundant approach is extended to deal with n
