Abstract
The objective of this study is to find the temperature distribution of a slab as it moves through the pusher-type preheat furnaces. First, the imaginary planes method (IPM) as a new and applicable method for calculation of radiation heat transfer in industrial furnaces is studied, and the two-dimensional form of this method is used to calculate heat flux and temperature distribution in the furnace enclosure. Next, the equation for the conduction heat transfer in a finite-difference form is developed for slabs and, finally, using IPM to calculate heat flux distribution on slabs surface, temperature distribution is obtained in the steady state condition.

Abstract
In order to obtain transmission spectra through a phononic crystal as well as its waveguide, a new algorithm is presented in this paper. By extracting displacement-based forms of elastic wave equations and their discretization, Displacement- Based Finite Difference Time Domain (DBFDTD) algorithm is presented. Two numerical examples are solvcd with this method and the results are compared with the conventional Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. In addition, the computational cost of the new approach has been compared with the conventional FDTD method. This comparison showed that the computation time of the DBFDTD method is 40 percent less than that of the conventional FDTD method.

Abstract
Wave-field extrapolation based on solving the wave equation is an important step in seismic modeling and needs a high level of accuracy. It has been implemented through a various numerical methods such as finite difference method as the most popular and conventional one. Moreover, the main drawbacks of the finite difference method are the low level of accuracy and the numerical dispersion for large time intervals (∆t). On the other hand, the symplectic integrators due to their structure can cope with this problem and act more accurately in comparison to the finite difference method. They reduce the computation cost and do not face numerical dispersion when time interval is increased. Therefore, the aim of the current paper is to present a symplectic integrator for wave-field extrapolation using the Euler method. Then, the extrapolation is implemented for rather large time intervals using a simple geological model. The extrapolation employed for both symplectic Euler and finite difference methods showed a better quality image for the proposed method. Finally the accuracy was compared to the finite difference method
