This page contains links to MATLAB codes used to demonstrate the finite difference and finite volume methods. These are simple codes applied to simple problems, hence the adjective "Toy". The toy finite volume codes can handle non-uniform meshes and non-uniform material properties. Not all sample problems exercise these features.
Feel free to use the codes in your class or for self-study. I put them here to augment my course in applied CFD.
Beware! These codes surely contain bugs. I have tried to code them carefully and I have tested them for the demonstration problems I use in my class. The codes might also be applied to other problems, say different boundary conditions, often with simple changes the codes or data structures. Although the codes are designed to be flexible, they have not undergone extensive stress testing. Please let me know if you find any bugs.
The codes are contained in Zip archives. The documentation is in PDF.
