Rust FVM Heat Conduction v1.0.0

Rust FVM Heat Conduction v1.0.0

First stable release of the two-dimensional steady heat-conduction solver implemented in Rust using the Finite Volume Method.

Features

• two-dimensional steady heat-conduction model
• structured Cartesian finite-volume discretization
• constant thermal conductivity
• Dirichlet and Neumann boundary-condition support
• Gauss–Seidel iterative solution
• residual monitoring
• CSV temperature-field output
• CSV residual-history output
• text run summary
• dependency-free SVG temperature visualization
• automated GitHub Actions build and execution check

Numerical workflow

The solver:

1. creates the computational grid
2. assembles finite-volume coefficients
3. applies boundary-condition source terms
4. solves the resulting algebraic system iteratively
5. monitors the residual
6. exports the temperature field and convergence information

Scope

This release is intended as a compact educational and scientific-computing implementation of the Finite Volume Method.

The repository is a completed software project, while further numerical verification and analytical benchmark cases may be added in future versions.

Requirements

• Rust stable toolchain
• Cargo

Run the solver with:

cargo run --release

Output files

The default run generates:

• results/temperature.csv
• results/residuals.csv
• results/summary.txt
• results/temperature.svg
