So I would like to model the heat equation in python, but I don't quite know where to start. I have a grasp on the 1D model with no heat source/sink, but that is too simple for what I need. I am trying to model heat flow on an object being struck by a laser. So I need it to be 3D and have a heat source. If anybody could help provide some useful resources I would much appreciate it.
EDIT:: I also need to be able to account for the heat lost due to surrounding air, along with the heat gained from the laser
