Abstract: A class of two-level explicit difference schemes are presented for solving three-dimensional heat conduction equation. When the order of truncation error is O(Δt+(Δx)2), the stability condition is mesh ratio r=Δt/(Δx)2)=Δt/(Δy)2= Δt(Δz)2≤1/2, which is better than that of all the other explicit difference schemes. And when the order of truncation error is O((Δt)2+(Δx)4), the stability condition is r≤1/6, which contains the known results.
