  2. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    The underlying PDEs are not valid at the phase change interfaces; therefore, an additional condition—the Stefan condition—is needed to obtain closure. The Stefan condition expresses the local velocity of a moving boundary, as a function of quantities evaluated at either side of the phase boundary, and is usually derived from a physical ...

  3. Kansa method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansa_method

    Kansa method has recently been extended to various ordinary and PDEs including the bi-phasic and triphasic mixture models of tissue engineering problems, [14] [15] 1D nonlinear Burger's equation [16] with shock wave, shallow water equations [17] for tide and current simulation, heat transfer problems, [18] free boundary problems, [19] and ...

  4. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    The method of images (or method of mirror images) is a mathematical tool for solving differential equations, in which boundary conditions are satisfied by combining a solution not restricted by the boundary conditions with its possibly weighted mirror image. Generally, original singularities are inside the domain of interest but the function is ...

  5. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    Using the SAT technique, the boundary conditions of the PDE are imposed weakly, where the boundary values are "pulled" towards the desired conditions rather than exactly fulfilled. If the tuning parameters (inherent to the SAT technique) are chosen properly, the resulting system of ODE's will exhibit similar energy behavior as the continuous ...

  6. Dirichlet problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_problem

    In mathematics, a Dirichlet problem asks for a function which solves a specified partial differential equation (PDE) in the interior of a given region that takes prescribed values on the boundary of the region. [1] The Dirichlet problem can be solved for many PDEs, although originally it was posed for Laplace's equation. In that case the ...

  7. PDE surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDE_surface

    The boundary conditions on the function (,) and its normal derivatives / are imposed at the edges of the surface patch. With the above formulation it is notable that the elliptic partial differential operator in the above PDE represents a smoothing process in which the value of the function at any point on the surface is, in some sense, a ...

  8. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.

  9. Boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_value_problem

    Boundary value problems are similar to initial value problems.A boundary value problem has conditions specified at the extremes ("boundaries") of the independent variable in the equation whereas an initial value problem has all of the conditions specified at the same value of the independent variable (and that value is at the lower boundary of the domain, thus the term "initial" value).
