mathematical expression

Available identifiers

differential form of Fourier's law of thermal conduction, named after Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier

Also known as Fourier equation

Assuming that the local heat flux is equal to the product of thermal conductivity and the negative local temperature gradient.

Defining Formula: $q = - γ \nabla T$
$T$ represents temperature
$γ$ represents thermal conductivity
$q$ represents heat flux density
