12.5 Why it fits in <strong>Scilab</strong> scope13 Partial Differential EquationsPDEs appears in the following mathematical fields :• conservation laws,• finite volumes,• finite elements.There is currently no <strong>Scilab</strong> component to solve PDEs. Introducing PDE solversmay require the following s<strong>of</strong>tware components :• 1/2/3D meshes,• dense or sparse linear algebra solvers (allready available in <strong>Scilab</strong>),• PDE solvers.13.1 Why it fits in <strong>Scilab</strong> scopeTODO : finish this section13.2 Existing features in MatlabTODO : finish this section13.3 Suggested library to connectSummary :• FreeFem : may be included in <strong>Scilab</strong> (LGPL)• Clawpack : may not be included in <strong>Scilab</strong> ( research-only license), but may beprovided as a <strong>Scilab</strong> toolboxFreeFem is a Finite Element library in C++ under LGPL : http://www.freefem.org/ff++/index.htmFreeFem is developped at Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions by highly recognizedexperts Olivier Pironneau, Frédéric Hecht, Antoine Le Hyaric.FreeFemis about tobe released with a support <strong>for</strong> 3d problems.
