Abstract
Numerical techniques are proposed to solve a 3D time dependent microscale heat transport equation. A second-order finite difference scheme in both time and space is introduced and the unconditional stability of the finite difference scheme is proved. A computational procedure is designed to solve the resulting sparse linear system at each time step with a few iterative methods and their performances are compared experimentally. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the finite difference scheme and the efficiency of the proposed computational procedure.
