Solve Complex Scientific Problems with SplitFXM

A powerful 1D computational physics library using Finite-Difference and Finite-Volume methods with asymmetric stencils and adaptive mesh refinement.

Powerful Features

SplitFXM provides a comprehensive toolkit for tackling the most challenging computational physics problems.

Finite-Difference & Finite-Volume

Powerful numerical methods for solving differential equations with high accuracy.

Asymmetric Stencils

Flexible stencil configurations for handling complex boundary conditions and irregular domains.

Adaptive Mesh Refinement

Dynamically adjusts the computational grid to focus resources where they're needed most.

Newton & Split-Newton Solvers

Robust approaches for steady-state solutions of complex non-linear systems.

Handles Steep Gradients

Specially designed to capture sharp transitions in physical properties efficiently.

Multiple Boundary Conditions

Support for diverse boundary specifications to model real-world scenarios accurately.

The “Split” Methodology

Our unique approach divides complex systems into multiple variable segments for more efficient computation.

1. System Division

Break down complex physical systems into manageable subsystems.

2. Variable Fixing

Hold some variables fixed while solving for others in each subsystem.

3. Iterative Solution

Alternate between subsystem solutions, gradually converging to the complete system solution.

4. Recursive Processing

Apply the same approach recursively for highly complex systems.
