Laplace & Stokes support about fmm2d.jl HOT 4 OPEN

Hi there @tanderson92,

I've been wanting to add Laplace and Stokes for a while now, but due to missing documentation I've been putting it aside. In January I was told that the documentation would be added soon, but it does not seem like it has happened yet. Maybe ping Manas in the other issue?. In any case I will have a look tomorrow to see how easy/difficult it would be to simply look at the Fortran code to create the missing wrappers.

from fmm2d.jl.

Hi again,

Manas was kind enough to quickly add the mathematical notation for the problems to the documentation. The branch adding_laplace_wrapper now adds the wrappers for Laplace. I've only tested the potential, so I do not know if the gradients and Hessians works as intended.

Note also that cfmm2d is broken as the _jll library is outdated. When I get them updated I will merge the branch to the main branch.

How much do you need Stokes? (I think it will require a little more effort to include)

Hi Mikkel,
I think (but am not sure yet) that I need Laplace more. (The reason being that IFGF should support 2D Stokes, so if nothing else I can use that.)

I will test your branch when I get a chance, hopefully very soon.

Thank you!

Hi Thomas,

Ok, I will see if I have time to look into Stokes. Its not something I have experience with, so I might wait a little until the actual documentation is up-to-date (currently only the mathematical description is there).

Note that I have already merged the branch into main and made a new release that includes updated binaries. Unfortunately it still seem as cfmm2d still does not work as intended with non-zero charges. So be careful if you use that functionality.

Cheers,
