Abstract
A program ( FINITEG) uses the finite-element method to deal with problems commonly
encountered in the study of terrestrial heat flow. FINITEG can provide transient and
steady-state solutions to one heat-flow problem or combined problems related to relief,
nonuniform surface temperature, transient surface temperature, inhomogeneous thermal properties, heat generation, igneous intrusion,
sedimentation, and erosion. The theory of the relevant finite-element method, programming procedures, and test results are given to prove
that the algorithm is correct. Numerical solutions agree to within 5 percent of the
analytical solutions for the individual problems.
