In the Intro to FEniCS - Part 2 episode we completed the first step in developing a FEniCS model. We characterised the domain. Then, we selected a governing PDE. We then provided suitable boundary conditions. Finally, we expressed the PDE in weak form. We chosen a generalised Helmholtz equation as our PDE. In this episode we will start using the resulting weak form to develop a model.

In the Intro to FEniCS - Part 1 episode we introduced FEniCS. We compared it to Elmer and covered how to install it on an Ubuntu workstation. This episode will cover the process of deriving the weak form for the Helmholtz equation. We will focus on the mathematics, which are advanced. Still, we will attempt to present the formalism in an approachable manner.
