  2. Boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_value_problem

    A boundary condition which specifies the value of the normal derivative of the function is a Neumann boundary condition, or second-type boundary condition. For example, if there is a heater at one end of an iron rod, then energy would be added at a constant rate but the actual temperature would not be known. If the boundary has the form of a ...

  3. Dirichlet boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition

    t. e. In mathematics, the Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on an ordinary or partial differential equation, such that the values that the solution takes along the boundary of the domain are fixed. The question of finding solutions to such equations is known as the Dirichlet problem. In the sciences and engineering, a Dirichlet boundary ...

  4. Neumann boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumann_boundary_condition

    In mathematics, the Neumann (or second-type) boundary condition is a type of boundary condition, named after Carl Neumann. [1] When imposed on an ordinary or a partial differential equation, the condition specifies the values of the derivative applied at the boundary of the domain. It is possible to describe the problem using other boundary ...

  5. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  6. Robin boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_boundary_condition

    e. In mathematics, the Robin boundary condition (/ ˈrɒbɪn /; properly French: [ʁɔbɛ̃]), or third type boundary condition, is a type of boundary condition, named after Victor Gustave Robin (1855–1897). [1] When imposed on an ordinary or a partial differential equation, it is a specification of a linear combination of the values of a ...

  7. Interface conditions for electromagnetic fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_conditions_for...

    In some cases, the boundary conditions resume to a simple interface condition. The most usual and simple example is a fully reflecting (electric wall) boundary - the outer medium is considered as a perfect conductor. In some cases, it is more complicated: for example, the reflection-less (i.e. open) boundaries are simulated as perfectly matched ...

  8. Periodic boundary conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_boundary_conditions

    Periodic boundary conditions. Periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are a set of boundary conditions which are often chosen for approximating a large (infinite) system by using a small part called a unit cell. PBCs are often used in computer simulations and mathematical models. The topology of two-dimensional PBC is equal to that of a world map ...

  9. Sturm–Liouville theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturm–Liouville_theory

    The boundary conditions ("held in a rectangular frame") are W = 0 when x = 0, L 1 or y = 0, L 2 and define the simplest possible Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problems as in the example, yielding the "normal mode solutions" for W with harmonic time dependence, (,,) = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ where m and n are non-zero integers, A mn are arbitrary constants ...
