Dear All
Can someone suggest me for how to solve the 3D heat equation implicitly using ADI please.
In brief, I would like to solve the 3D heat equation with a constant diffusion using finite differences. In 1D, I am using the Thomas algorithm in serial. However, since the 3D problem is large, I need to parallelise it. Any pointers will be appreciated.
ADI is from the last century. Use PETSc's Geometric Multigrid. If you look at SNES ex50 and the tutorial runs for it, you can see how this works. Matt
thanks Sanjay
