Abstract
This paper analyzed the similarity between economic spread and heat conduction from central city to satellite city.It introduced the conception of economic spread flux,and established the economic spread model of central city to satellite city based on traffic passages by referring to the Fourer Role.The model indicates that the economic spread flux of central city to satellite city is in proportion to the capacity of traffic passages and industrial gradient between them.It is put forward that the planning of satellite city should according to economic spread flux.The towns with greater flux of economic spread should be the satellite cities of central city and the towns with smaller flux of economic spread but with higher industrial gradient can be developed into a satellite city by developing transportation.The model is proved to be reasonable and practical by the example.
