Software for simulating (partial) differential equations

594 Views Asked by At

I am looking for a way of getting some intuition for some Convection Diffusion Equation. I would like to play around with it, simulate it, change its IC/BCs, having some interactive graphs and stuff.

Do you know of any free software that does the job? Thank you!

Dynare on top of Octave should do the Trick.

OpenFOAM might also be a tool. But I am not sure, if this might be too difficult to begin with.

You can find it on their homepage. A quick google search offered this tutorial, see slide 17ff, where the convection-diffusion equation is solved. But I personally would start with the OpenFOAM tutorial.
