Rostovtsev (REAL) URL : http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy Summary : Partial differential equation (PDE) solver Description : FiPy is an object oriented, partial differential equation (PDE) solver, written in Python, based on a standard finite volume (FV) approach The solution of coupled sets of PDEs is ubiquitous to the numerical simulation of science problems. Numerous PDE solvers exist, using a variety of languages and numerical approaches. Many are proprietary, expensive and difficult to customize. As a result, scientists spend considerable resources repeatedly developing limited tools for specific problems. Our approach, combining the FV method and Python_, provides a tool that is extensible, powerful and freely available. A significant advantage to Python_ is the existing suite of tools for array calculations, sparse matrices and data rendering.
