FiPy: A Finite Volume PDE Solver Using Python
Abstract
The FiPy framework includes terms for transient diffusion, convection and standard sources, enabling the solution of arbitrary combinations of coupled elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs. Currently implemented models include phase field treatments of polycrystalline, dendritic, and electrochemical phase transformations, as well as drug eluting stents, reactive wetting, photovoltaics and a level set treatment of the electrodeposition process.
