6.1 Synopsis

The ADRSolver is designed to solve partial differential equations of the form:

α ∂u-+ λu + ν∇u  + ϵ∇  ⋅(D ∇u ) = f
  ∂t
(6.1)

in either discontinuous or continuous projections of the solution field. For a full list of the equations which are supported, and the capabilities of each equation, see the table below.
