Multidimensional continuous systems arising from physical applications with distributed parameters are conventionally modelled by partial differential equations. This paper presents an alternate description by transfer functions based on suitably chosen functional transformations. Signal processing techniques lead to discrete simulation models which are suitable for computer implementation. Numerical results show considerable savings in computer time over existing numerical methods.
