Solving Poisson equation in the ocean #250

Closed miniufo closed 1 year ago

miniufo commented 1 year ago

Thanks for this excellent symbolic solver for PDEs. Just a quick question. If I want to solve a Poisson equation on a domain like the ocean, with a DEM file describing the irregular ocean grids, is it possible to use this package with spectral method? Maybe it is convenient to do this as a demo?

This package is aimed at global spectral methods, so generally wouldn't be well suited to that sort of thing. I'd suggest looking into FEM or SEM packages instead.
