We present a simple, analytic point source model for both static and time-varying point-like heat sources and the resulting temperature profile that solves the heat equation in dimension three. Simple algorithms to detect the location and spectral content of these sources are developed and numerically tested using Finite Element Mesh simulations. The resulting framework for heat source reconstruction problems, which are ill-posed inverse problems, seems promising and warrants for future research. Possible fields of application for our work are material testing, to detect manufacturing defects, and medical imaging to detect abnormal health conditions.
