## Heat diffusion
The pseudo-transient heat-diffusion equation is:

$\widetilde{\rho}\frac{\partial T}{\partial \psi} + \rho C_p \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \nabla \cdot (K\nabla T) = -\nabla q$
$\widetilde{\rho}\frac{\partial T}{\partial \psi} + \rho C_p \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \nabla \cdot (\kappa\nabla T) = -\nabla q$

We use a second order pseudo-transient scheme were continuation is also done on the flux, so that:

$\widetilde{\theta}\frac{\partial q}{\partial \psi} + q = -K\nabla T$
$\widetilde{\theta}\frac{\partial q}{\partial \psi} + q = -\kappa\nabla T$

$\widetilde{V} = \sqrt{ \frac{\widetilde{K} +2\widetilde{G}}{\widetilde{\rho}}}, \qquad r = \frac{\widetilde{K}}{\widetilde{G}}, \qquad Re = \frac{\widetilde{\rho}\widetilde{V}L}{\eta}$

where the P-wave $\widetilde{V}=V_p$ is the characteristic velocity scale for Stokes, and $Re$ is the Reynolds number.
