Online PDE solvers

The purpose of these pages is to help improve the student's (and professor's?) intuition on the behavior of the solutions to simple PDEs. I built them while teaching my undergraduate PDE class.

In all these pages the initial data can be drawn freely with the mouse, and then we press START to see how the PDE makes it evolve.

• Heat equation solver.
• Wave equation solver.
• Generic solver of parabolic equations via finite difference schemes.
  (after the last update it includes examples for the heat, drift-diffusion, transport, Eikonal, Hamilton-Jacobi, Burgers and Fisher-KPP equations)
