GSoc Mentor for IBVP for PDEs 1D

[prao]

Hi all,

I'm a PhD student in computational fluid dynamics and interested in
implementing initial-boundary value problems for parabolic and elliptic
equations. In my field, we use a lot of numerical analysis and PDEs (C++, C,
Matlab, Python, etc). I have gone through the suggested material (paper and
wiki book and using Matlab pdepe function) and have a few ideas and
questions. There was no particular mentor listed for this project, so I am
not sure who to point my questions to (or if this is even the right place).
I will put them out there anyway, but I apologise in advance for any
inconvenience.

1. Are we trying to do just the single equation 1D or are we also trying to
do the system of 1D?
2. What coordinate system to use?
3. If not selected for GSoC, can I still work on the project (if no one is
assigned to it)? 

I know the scope of the project is flexible but was hoping to get some idea
about the expectation from this project. I have a few more questions about
the numerical integration methods but maybe they fall more into the category
of "implementation part" and hence, apart of the the other half of the
application. 
Looking forward to being part of this community!

Thanks,
Pooja
