Gradient of Ground Temperature in Response to Cold Winds

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
In the fall, winds cool the ground. This Demonstration shows the evolution of the ground temperature profile versus time (in seconds) for various values of thermal diffusivity (expressed in ), convective heat transfer coefficient (expressed in
), and heat conduction coefficient (expressed in
).
