This library provides abstract types to represent mathematical fields in Fortran. These are both scalar and vector fields. It also contains (at present) one concrete implementation of these types, using a pseudo-spectral approach and tracking field values at Chebyshev collocation points.
- abstract types representing vector and scalar fields
- concrete implementations of said types
- 1D implementation using Chebyshev pseudo-spectral techniques (in progress)
- 2D implementation using Chebyshev pseudo-spectral techniques
- 3D implementation using Chebyshev pseudo-spectral techniques
- implementations of special "uniform" fields which provide optimal use of memory and CPU
- implementation with periodic boundary conditions (Fourier spectral approach?)
- Factory type or method to provide uniform constructor for implementations
- Front-end nonlinear solver for fields?
- Parallel implementations (for multidimensional fields)
- Derived type to represent boundary conditions, with procedure pointer to generate said conditions?
- Equality checking of fields, within a tolerance
- Ability to set tolerance on a per-field basis
