# Ticket: Implement the implicit ADI time-stepper for the Heat2D conduction solver ## Context `heat1d` is a small C++17 engine that simulates **2D transient heat conduction** on a rectangular plate. The surrounding framework is complete: plate/grid construction and validation (`Plate`), the `.plate` text-format parser and report writer (`io`), a demo CLI, a CTest suite, and the solver's diagnostics (`fourier_x`, `fourier_y`, `total_energy`). The numerical core , the **time-stepping scheme** , is unimplemented. Its two member functions are stubs that return the temperature field unchanged (no heat flows), so every transient is wrong and the test suite fails. The project is at **`/opt/heat1d`** in the build image. ## Your task Implement the two stubbed member functions in **`/opt/heat1d/src/solver.cpp`** (declared in `include/heat1d/solver.hpp`): - `std::vector<double> HeatSolver::step(const std::vector<double>& field, double dt) const` - `HeatResult HeatSolver::solve(double dt, std::size_t n_steps) const` **Do not change the public headers / signatures**, do **not** modify the already-implemented diagnostics (`fourier_x`, `fourier_y`, `total_energy`), and reuse them plus the `Plate` accessors. **You should only need to edit `src/solver.cpp`.** You must implement the tridiagonal solve yourself (no external linear-algebra libraries). ## Governing equation (2D transient heat conduction, heterogeneous medium) The plate may be a **heterogeneous medium**: the thermal diffusivity is a positive, spatially varying field `alpha(x, y)`. The temperature `T(x, y, t)` on the rectangle `[0, Lx] x [0, Ly]` then satisfies the **conservative (divergence) form** ``` ∂T/∂t = ∂/∂x( alpha(x,y) · ∂T/∂x ) + ∂/∂y( alpha(x,y) · ∂T/∂y ). ``` (When `alpha` is uniform this reduces to `∂T/∂t = alpha·(∂²T/∂x² + ∂²T/∂y²)`.) Discretize on the uniform grid `(x_i, y_j) = (i·hx, j·hy)`, `i = 0..Nx`, `j = 0..Ny`, `hx = Lx/Nx`, `hy = Ly/Ny`. Fields are stored **flattened, row-major in x**: node `(i, j)` lives at linear index `i + (Nx+1)·j` (use `Plate::index(i, j)`). ### Diffusivity field Read the local diffusivity with **`Plate::alpha_at(i, j)`** (it returns the varying field value where one is set, else the scalar `alpha()`); never assume a single constant `alpha()` in the solver. The diffusivity lives **at nodes** , your discretization of `∂/∂x(alpha ∂T/∂x)` must use **face-centred conductivities** (a value on the cell face *between* two nodes) chosen so the discrete normal **flux is continuous** across that face, i.e. a genuinely **conservative** stencil. (The naive non-conservative form `alpha(i,j)·∇²T`, or an arithmetic node-average on the faces, gives the wrong steady state in a heterogeneous medium.) The two half-cells meeting at a face conduct heat in **series**, so the flux-continuous face conductivity is the **harmonic mean** of the two adjacent nodal diffusivities (work out the exact combination yourself and fold it into the implicit tridiagonal rows and the boundary stencils). ## Required scheme Use the **Alternating-Direction-Implicit (ADI) Peaceman–Rachford** scheme: advance each full step `dt` as two half-steps, each implicit in one coordinate direction and explicit in the other, using the standard second-order central difference for the spatial second derivatives. The scheme is **second-order in space and time and unconditionally stable** , there is **no Fourier-number stability cap**, so a large time step must not blow up. Each implicit half-sweep is a tridiagonal system along grid lines; solve those systems directly with your own tridiagonal (Thomas-style) elimination. Deriving the half-step operators, the tridiagonal coefficients, and the boundary rows from the discretization is part of the task. ## Boundary conditions (one per edge) Edges: `left` (x=0, outward normal −x), `right` (x=Lx, +x), `bottom` (y=0, −y), `top` (y=Ly, +y). Each carries one condition (see `include/heat1d/types.hpp`), with these meanings and sign conventions: - **Dirichlet** (`T = value`): the edge temperature is held fixed at `value` in both half-sweeps. - **Neumann** (`dT/dn = value`, outward normal): a prescribed normal temperature gradient; `value = 0` is the **insulated** / zero-flux case. Discretize the flux condition with a second-order (central, ghost-node) treatment so that the fully insulated plate is exactly energy-conserving. Note a **nonzero** flux drives a real gradient at the edge , it is *not* the same as insulated. - **Robin / convective**: `−k·dT/dn = h·(T − T_inf)`, i.e. `dT/dn = −B·(T − T_inf)` with the **non-dimensional Biot-like coefficient** `B = bc.h` (units 1/length, `B ≥ 0`) and ambient `T_inf = bc.T_inf`. Use a second-order treatment consistent with the implicit sweeps; treating a Robin edge as insulated or Dirichlet is incorrect. - **Corners** (a node on two edges): if either incident edge is Dirichlet the corner takes that Dirichlet value, with **left/right taking precedence over bottom/top**; otherwise the corner is a genuine unknown carrying the boundary treatment of both incident edges. ## Contract / edge cases - `step()` throws `std::invalid_argument` on a field-size mismatch **and** on `dt <= 0`. The scheme is unconditionally stable, so **do not** throw on a large Fourier number. - `solve()` calls `Plate::validate()` first and lets its `std::runtime_error` propagate (e.g. a Robin edge with a **negative** Biot coefficient is rejected as unphysical), and throws `std::invalid_argument` on `dt <= 0`. - `solve(dt, n_steps)` starts from the plate's `initial()` field, applies `step()` exactly `n_steps` times, and returns `HeatResult{ temperature, steps = n_steps, time = n_steps·dt }`. Zero steps returns the initial field at `time = 0`. ## What is graded A correct implementation must reproduce, to tight numerical tolerances: - the exact transient decay of Fourier eigenmodes on Dirichlet plates (including anisotropic, rectangular grids), at both small and very large time steps; - the steady states for Dirichlet, **nonzero-flux Neumann**, mixed, and Robin (convective) boundary configurations, including correct corner resolution; - the steady states of **heterogeneous media** (smooth, layered, and high-contrast `alpha(x,y)` fields), which only the conservative flux-continuous discretization gets right; - discrete conservation (energy on an insulated plate, including for high-frequency fields), the discrete maximum principle / monotone decay, diagonal symmetry, and the exception contract above. The tests shipped in the repo under `tests/` are a **non-authoritative development subset**: passing them is necessary but **not sufficient**. Grading uses a **stricter, hidden** suite that exercises the full boundary-condition matrix (Dirichlet / nonzero-Neumann / Robin / mixed), anisotropic grids, and much tighter tolerances. Implement the scheme correctly from the discretization , do not tune to the visible tests. ## Build & test ``` cmake -S /opt/heat1d -B /opt/heat1d/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release cmake --build /opt/heat1d/build --parallel cd /opt/heat1d/build && ctest --output-on-failure ```
I'll start by exploring the repository structure and understanding the existing code.

11	/// A rectangular plate for 2D transient heat conduction, discretized on a
12	/// uniform structured grid.
13	///
14	/// This is a plain data container plus light validation / derived-quantity
15	/// helpers. It is fully implemented; the time-stepping numerical scheme (the
16	/// implicit ADI solver) lives in HeatSolver (see solver.hpp).
17	///
18	/// Geometry / grid:
19	///   - The plate occupies the rectangle [0, Lx] x [0, Ly].
20	///   - It is divided into Nx equal cells in x and Ny equal cells in y, giving
21	///     (Nx+1)*(Ny+1) grid points at (x_i, y_j) = (i*hx, j*hy) with
22	///     hx = Lx/Nx, hy = Ly/Ny, i = 0..Nx, j = 0..Ny.
23	///   - Fields are stored FLATTENED, ROW-MAJOR in x: the value at node (i, j)
24	///     lives at linear index  idx(i, j) = i + (Nx+1)*j. Use index(i, j).
25	///
26	/// Physics:
27	///   - alpha is the (constant, positive) thermal diffusivity [m^2/s].
28	///   - The governing PDE is the 2D heat equation
29	///         dT/dt = alpha * ( d2T/dx2 + d2T/dy2 ).
30	///   - The four edges carry independent boundary conditions:
31	///         left   : x = 0      (outward normal -x)
32	///         right  : x = Lx     (outward normal +x)
33	///         bottom : y = 0      (outward normal -y)
34	///         top    : y = Ly     (outward normal +y)

This is a numerically rich task. Let me set up a todo and write the implementation. I've worked through the discretization carefully: - **Conservative FV stencil**: face conductivity = harmonic mean of adjacent nodal diffusivities; boundary node `i=0` owns a half-cell `hx/2`, giving operator `(g_{1/2} − g_{−1/2})/(hx/2)`. - **Neumann/Robin** boundary flux uses the *local nodal* `α₀` times the prescribed gradient (this is what makes it both conservative and correct for heterogeneous media; the naive ghost full-stencil double-counts). - **PR-ADI** with weighted-sum energy conservation exact for insulated. - **Corner precedence** via an ordered if/else chain (left/right before bottom/top). Let me verify the build works first, then write.

All dev tests pass. Now let me write a stricter validation harness to confirm correctness against analytic/discrete solutions at tight tolerances , the dev tests are loose, so I want to confirm the scheme matches the hidden-suite expectations.

Test 4's analytic reference was wrong , the material interface sits at a *face* (between nodes 9 and 10 at x=0.475), not at x=0.5. The solver's 79.38 is likely the correct discrete steady state. Let me verify against the true discrete series-resistance solution:

The solver matches the true discrete steady state to 1e-13 , my earlier reference idealization was wrong, the implementation is correct. Let me run a few more discriminating checks (all-Robin equilibrium, 2D Laplace steady, corner precedence with mixed BCs):

Both "failures" are wrong test expectations, not solver bugs: - **Test E**: PR-ADI amplification factor → +1 for high-frequency modes as dt→∞ (it's unconditionally *stable*, `|g|≤1`, but not strongly damping). 5 huge steps don't reach steady , that's correct ADI behavior, and the field stayed bounded (no blowup). - **Test B**: the corners where top=100 meets sides=0 are a discontinuity → the continuous Fourier series has a corner singularity (Gibbs); the discrete solution legitimately differs there. Let me confirm Test B by checking the actual correctness criterion , that the result satisfies the discrete Laplace equation (residual ≈ 0):

The steady state satisfies the discrete Laplace equation to 6e-10, x-symmetry is exact (1e-13), and the center reaches exactly 25.0 (the analytic mean-value result for a square with one edge at 100). The implementation is correct. Let me do a final clean build to confirm no warnings (the build uses `-Wall -Wextra`) and tests pass:

The implementation is complete and verified. Here's a summary of what I did. ## Summary I implemented the two stubbed functions in `/opt/heat1d/src/solver.cpp` , `HeatSolver::step` and `HeatSolver::solve` , for the implicit ADI (Peaceman–Rachford) 2D heat-conduction time-stepper. No headers or diagnostics were touched. ### Key numerical decisions **Conservative flux-continuous discretization.** The x-operator `∂/∂x(α ∂T/∂x)` uses **harmonic-mean face conductivities** `A_{i+½} = 2·α_i·α_{i+1}/(α_i+α_{i+1})` between adjacent nodes , the two half-cells conduct in series, so this is the flux-continuous choice that gets heterogeneous steady states right (an arithmetic average does not). **Boundary stencils from a half-cell finite-volume balance.** A boundary node owns a half-cell of width `hx/2`, so its operator is `(g_{½} − g_{boundary})/(hx/2)`. The boundary flux uses the *local nodal* diffusivity `α₀` times the prescribed gradient. This is what makes the insulated plate **exactly** energy-conserving (interior fluxes telescope; weights match `Plate::total_energy`'s trapezoidal rule) and is the correct heterogeneous-medium form , I verified the naive ghost full-stencil double-counts there. - Neumann (`dT/dn = g`): adds `2·α₀·g/hx` to the RHS source. - Robin (`dT/dn = −B(T−T∞)`): adds `−2·α₀·B/hx` to the diagonal and `2·α₀·B·T∞/hx` to the source. **Corner precedence** via an ordered if/else chain: left/right Dirichlet pins before bottom/top. **Two implicit half-sweeps** `(I−μLx)T* = (I+μLy)Tⁿ` then `(I−μLy)Tⁿ⁺¹ = (I+μLx)T*` with `μ=dt/2`, each a tridiagonal solve per grid line via my own strictly-diagonally-dominant Thomas elimination (stable at any dt , no Fourier cap). ### Verification (beyond the loose dev tests) I built a strict harness and confirmed at tight tolerances: discrete ADI mode decay matches the exact `gⁿ` amplification (1e-10); nonzero-Neumann and Robin 1D steady states; heterogeneous layered steady matches the true discrete series-resistance solution (1e-13); diagonal symmetry (1e-13); exact energy conservation for a high-frequency checkerboard at huge dt with no blowup; the discrete maximum principle; all-Robin equilibrium → T∞; and a 2D Laplace steady state with ~6e-10 discrete residual and center temp exactly 25.0. The dev suite passes with no compiler warnings.
