Abstract: Numerical simulation for three dimensional diffusion equation is studied.Using variation principle,the difference discrete scheme with diffusion flux form on the irregular hexahedral grid is constructed.The flux of diffusion as an unknown function is obtained by minimizing the functional and solved with the equation of temperature function simultaneously.Computational formulas are deduced and numerical test is given.

Key words: variation principle, irregular hexahedral grid, three-dimensional diffusion equation, difference scheme
