This article discusses multiscale analysis and numerical algorithm for the nonstationary integrated heat transfer problem with rapidly oscillating coefficients. The multiscale asymptotic expansion of the solution for this kind of problems is presented first. Then, error estimates of the multiscale approximate solution are derived, and a numerical algorithm based on the multiscale method for temperature field is introduced. Finally, using some numerical models, we verify the validity and relevancy of the proposed algorithm. The numerical results show that the algorithm is effective to predict the heat transfer performance of porous materials, and support the convergence theorem reported in this article. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
