Softwares

Matlab is a scripting language extensively used for numerical computing, allowing to manipulate matrices and create algorithm as well as having plotting capabilities. I have used it in a daily basis during my PhD for the solution of PDE equations on simple geometries. I have implemented numerical schemes such as finite volume, finite volume, pseudo-spectral, boundary element method, among others, to study the behaviour of dynamical systems modelled by PDEs. I use it less because for these tasks, I use now the next software (Comsol Multiphysics). However, it is a basic tool and still use it, mainly, for post-processing and to control Comsol using Matlab Livelink.

Comsol is a software devoted to the computational analysis in physics and engineering applications by means of the finite element method, with built-in models or the capability to solve users-defined ones. I used Comsol in a daily basis since I was engaged at ULB. I do it using the weak formulation module, which allows to implement any PDE. The simulations presented in this website have been carried out with either of theses softwares.

LaTeX is a scientific editing tool that produces high quality aspect documentation. It separates content and presentation since the user writes a plain text and provide the structure by markup tags. The equations in this website are rendered by LaTeX.
