Green's functions for non-self-adjoint problems in heat conduction with steady motion (Q873174)

To investigate a heat conduction in a solid which remains in steady motion relative to a fluid, one addresses a standard heat equation with the additional lower order derivative term. The arising initial/boundary data problem involves a constitutve dynamical equation plus its adjoint (referring to the backward dynamics). The Green functions are constructed and examples (one-dimensional plus three-dimensional) are solved with a numerical assistance. The method stands for an alternative to the standard coordinate transformation which maps a solution of the governing equation to that of the standard heat equation.
