Resumen
A unified approach for solving convection-diffusion problems using the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT) was advanced and coined as the UNIT (UNified Integral Transforms) algorithm, as implied by the acronym. The unified manner through which problems are tackled in the UNIT framework allows users that are less familiar with the GITT to employ the technique for solving a variety of partial-differential problems. This paper consolidates this approach in solving general transient one-dimensional problems. Different integration alternatives for calculating coefficients arising from integral transformation are discussed. Besides presenting the proposed algorithm, aspects related to computational implementation are also explored. Finally, benchmark results of different types of problems are calculated with a UNIT-based implementation and compared with previously obtained results. Indisponível
