twister.ou.edu/CFD2003/Chapter1.pdfChapter 1 of Lapidus and Pinder (Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations in Science and Engineering - web link) Supplementary Reading: P1-P20 of Durran book. Before we look at numerical methods, it is important to understand the types of equations we will be dealing with. 1. Differences between PDE's and ODE's
Partial Differential Equations
www.math.toronto.edu › ivrii › PDE-textbookA partial di erential equation is an equation for a function which depends on more than one independent variable which involves the independent variables, the function, and partial derivatives of the function: F(x;y;u(x;y);u x(x;y);u y(x;y);u xx(x;y);u xy(x;y);u yx(x;y);u yy(x;y)) = 0: This is an example of a PDE of order 2. Solving an equation like this
Partial differential equations
www.lehman.edu › faculty › dgaraninPartial differential equations (PDE) are equations for functions of several variables that contain partial derivatives. Typical PDEs are Laplace equation ∆φ@x,y,…D 0 (D is the Laplace operator), Poisson equation (Laplace equation with a source) ∆φ@x,y,…D f@x,y,…D, wave equation ∂.
