Supported equations
We currently support the following equations:
- Basic equations like dot, curl, normal gradient of a scalar
- Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow
- Zero equation turbulence model
- Advection-diffusion equation
- Diffusion equation
- Wave equation
- Helmoltz equation
- Linear elasticity equations
- Linear elasticity plane stress equations
- Frequency domain Maxwell's equation
- Sommerfeld radiation condition
- Perfect Electric Conductor boundary condition
We're planning to add more equations in the future, but also we're working on implementating a way to include user-defined equations.
