Thermal model for planetary science applications

Author: Paul O. Hayne

This repository contains source code and examples for the heat1d planetary thermal model. In its present form, heat1d uses a finite difference approach to solve the one-dimensional heat equation. Key features include depth- and temperature-dependent thermophysical properties, and boundary conditions appropriate to different planetary bodies.

Implementations in three different languages are in development: C, MATLAB, and Python. Each implementation is contained in its own subdirectory, with instructions for installing, running, and customizing the code.
