Notes:
A new, simple electric analogue model is demonstrated which gives solutions, accurate within ten %, to problems in nonsteady state flow of heat, diffusion, and flow of liquids in porous media. The analogue consists essentially of a sandwich of electrical conducting paper, polyethylene or polyester sheeting, and metal foil. One- or two-dimensional problems can be treated. This analogue provides a medium with distributed resistance and capacitance rather than the finite steps of conventional analogues; therefore two-dimensional problems of complex shape can easily be modeled. The analogue is pulsed by a square wave generator and the transient potential response is displayed on a cathode-ray oscilloscope.
