Explicit Finite Volume Method (FVM) for Rail & Transit

Apply the explicit finite volume method (fvm) to real rail & transit problems — in the browser, with AI assistance.

This is the explicit variant of the Finite Volume Method (FVM). FVM integrates conservation laws over control volumes so mass, momentum, and energy are conserved discretely, making it robust for fluid flow and transport.

In rail & transit, teams face challenges like aerodynamics, track loading, braking thermal. The explicit finite volume method (fvm) directly supports use cases such as train aerodynamics, rail structural fea, brake thermal analysis, and PolySim's AI Copilot can recommend settings and catch common setup errors before you run.
