I have used Poisson’s Equation recently. Actually, something similar. Been coding up some thermal conductivity calculations form scratch.
What’s nice about the Laplace equation is that there are some exact analytical solutions in some situations which is really helpful for validating numerical codes and sanity checking. It’s also simple enough to implement in an Excel spreadsheet, Color coding the cells to indicate temperature. Good sort of “no code” example of the concept.
