How to solve this set of PDE in GFD?
miniufo opened this issue · comments
Hi, I am recently working on a PDE solver for geophysical fluid dynamic problems and it is really great to come across this excellent package!
Just two quick questions here:
- Is it possible to use this solver in an arbitary domain like the ocean with arbitary shape of coastlines?
- I have a problem in hand which is a set of PDEs with two unkown: streamfunction
$\psi$ and layer thickness$h$ :
where py-pde
, with proper boundary conditions?
Unfortunately, I don't think py-pde
is the right package to solve these equations. Since it is based on finite-differences, it cannot cope with arbitrary boundary conditions easily. I recommend looking into finite element or finite volume methods.
