Poisson Equation

Students in Dr. Donley's Numerical Methods for Supercomputers course numerically approximated the solution to the Poisson equation to model the temperature distribution in a rectangular steel plate. From the numerical temperature distribution, they created a color contour plot, with color representing temperature. Several of the students also animated the iterative scheme for solving the system of linear equations. All of the student animations were recorded on video tape at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
