FP Thermal Front 2D Composite (dim=50)
ADVANTAGES3 · dim 50SolvSRK wins. At the comparison noise level, SolvSRK beats the best baseline by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use SolvSRK for this class of problem. All verdicts →
2D anisotropic frontal polymerization in composite layup: 5x5 spatial grid x 2 fields (temperature, cure fraction). Anisotropic conductivity: k_fiber=5.0, k_trans=0.2 W/(m*K). Left edge Dirichlet ignition, insulated on other boundaries. Largest and stiffest FP problem — tests solver on coupled reaction-diffusion with strong directional anisotropy.
