PDE Interface Variables The following list shows symbolic expressions for quantities appearing in the definition of PDEs and the corresponding variable names, which can be used in PDE coefficients and are available for results evaluation and visualization Expression Name Description ui ui The solution variable (dependent variable) uixj The derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to the spatial coordinate xj, for example, uy uiTxj The xj component of the gradient of ui projected onto a boundary or edge, for example, uTy uixjxk The second derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to the spatial coordinates xj and xk, for example, uxx, uxy uit The derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time uitt The second derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time uixjt The mixed derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time and the spatial coordinate xj
