Python Finite Difference Schemes for 1D Heat Equation: How to express for loop using numpy expression
Hello all,
I've recently been introduced to Python and Numpy, and am still a beginner in applying it for numerical methods. I've been performing simple 1D diffusion computations. I suppose my ...

Strong coupling of a non-linear multiphysic problem: failure with Newton Raphson method
I am trying to solve a multiphysic problem using finite elements and a Newton Raphson solution scheme. I have two non-linear subsystems that are coupled bi-directionally.
The first subsystem includes ...

Where am I making a mistake in solving the heat equation using the spectral method (Chebyshev's differentiation matrix)?
I would like to numerically solve the following heat equation problem:
$$ u_t = \Bigg(2{a \over l}\Bigg)^2 u_{xx} \tag 1$$
$$ x \in [ -1, 1 ] \tag 2$$
$$ u(x, 0) = 0 \tag 3$$
$$ u(1, t) = A \sin \Bigg(...

How to solve heat equation in spherical coordinates with finite differences?
I have a problem dealing with heat transfer which is spherically symmetrical. I was thinking it should be possible to solve this as a 1d problem in spherical coordinates using the radius only.
