About this simulation

Original partial-differential-equation solver and model parameters. Fields and time use the source model’s units; this is a numerical teaching model, not measured biological, clinical or environmental data. Click or drag to apply the source brush. Source illustrations are replaced with an authored scalar field; terrain is synthetic.
