Heat Wave

Have a look at Heat Wave, my experimental computer app for solving the heat and wave equations. It's written in C++ and uses OpenGL for 3D graphics. It includes the following features:

• Solves the Heat Equation (∂u/∂t = k∇²u) numerically over a 2D sheet of values.
• Solves the damped Wave Equation (∂²u/∂t² = c²∇²u).
• Forward-difference solver
• Backward-difference solver
• Central-difference (Crank-Nicolson) solver
• Multi-threaded: Solver uses all available cores.
• Rich graphics with many display options
• Many animation options
• Uses Qt for a cross-platform UI.
• Written in C++ -- fast, small memory footprint
• Available for free. Just r-click and save the EXE.
