Summary: Partial differential equation (PDE) solver

Description: 

FiPy is an object oriented, partial differential equation (PDE) solver,
written in Python, based on a standard finite volume (FV) approach

The solution of coupled sets of PDEs is ubiquitous to the numerical
simulation of science problems.  Numerous PDE solvers exist, using a
variety of languages and numerical approaches. Many are proprietary,
expensive and difficult to customize.  As a result, scientists spend
considerable resources repeatedly developing limited tools for
specific problems.  Our approach, combining the FV method and Python_,
provides a tool that is extensible, powerful and freely available. A
significant advantage to Python_ is the existing suite of tools for
array calculations, sparse matrices and data rendering.
