How to constraint the tangential gradient on a boundary in FEniCS?
The problem I'm considering is a 2D scalar PDE.
The domain $\Omega$ is a disk with two holes $\partial\Omega_1$ and $\partial\Omega_2$ and an external boundary $\partial\Omega_0$.
The PDE and boundary ...

Vector poisson equation in cylindrical coordinates. What's wrong?
I am trying to solve this equation:
$$
\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial A}{\partial r} - \frac{A}{r^2} + \frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial z^2} = -g
$$
This is basically the ...

How to refine $h$ and $\Delta t$ for convergence tests on evolution PDE
Setting
I am solving for $u(x,y,t)$ the wave equation $\partial_{tt} u - \partial_{xx} u = f$ on $(x,y)\in\Omega=[0,1]\times \mathbb{R}$ by splitting it into an equivalent first order system:
$$\...

numerical schemes for 1D PDE: for smaller grid size there is an increased roundoff error, larger size more truncation, so sweet spot in between?
I had a discussion with a colleague today. He claimed that usually for a general numerical scheme for solving a general 1D PDE, for smaller grid size there is an increased roundoff error because of ...

What exactly is a "unit-torus"?
I've seen references to the "unit torus" in papers such as this (Start of Sec 3.3, page 5). So, what exactly is a unit torus? Is it just a square or cube in d-dimensions with periodic ...
