(OP)
How should I solve a heat transfer equation in elliptic region by Fourier Transform method?

RE: Fourier Transform

If this is not a school problem, then what is the application?

RE: Fourier Transform

transforms to be sure, related to Fourier but only in a generalized sense

RE: Fourier Transform

Does Fourier's law have an elliptic region?

RE: Fourier Transform

my understanding is that the op is wants to use fourier methods (i.e. orthogonal functions) to develop a solution for an elliptical (presumed 2d) region.

Carslaw and Yeager might be a good start. the expansions are not limited to trig expansions and are more generally classified as integral methods.   

RE: Fourier Transform

Gradient^2*T - 1/alpha (dt/dx -partial)= -(1/k)qgen

you have x and y positions for the ellipse based off of a starting point (Xs,Ys), size factors (a,b), and angles (alpha and beta)

assuming you have initial values and boundaries, use your formula for the x and y positions for the ellipse and the above formula for heat transfer and using cos/sin series you can come up with the formula for both (T(x) and T(y)) and solve using ure Initial values and boundary equations (after some fun and a ridiculous amount of math) to solve for the unknown constants.....
