FiPy
FiPy is an open-source Python package for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using the finite volume method. It is designed for ease of use and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in science and engineering. FiPy provides a framework for defining complex geometries, boundary conditions, and material properties, allowing users to model phenomena such as diffusion, heat transfer, and fluid flow.
The package's core functionality revolves around its ability to represent physical domains as a mesh of control
FiPy supports various solvers, including iterative methods for large sparse systems and direct solvers for smaller
Key features of FiPy include its ability to handle multi-component diffusion, coupled equations, and phase-field models.
