Abstract: | Efficient solution of the heat equation is one of the recursive topics in computational physics. Over the years, different
software solutions have been proposed, taking advantage of today’s impressive computing power of parallel machines. In this
work, we consider a hybrid software–hardware approach making use of a field-programmable gate array platform as a heat equation
solver that can be easily attached to a PC using a PCI bus with the goal of obtaining a portable system to be used during
field experiments. The system has been successfully used for the non-destructive inspection of soils in mine detection applications
based on infrared thermography techniques. |
