💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with IRKsome
Create a mini-application that simulates heat diffusion in a rectangular metal plate over time using fully implicit Runge-Kutta methods provided by the IRKsome library. This application will allow users to input initial temperature distribution across the plate, boundary conditions, and simulation parameters such as time step size and total simulation duration. The goal is to visualize how the heat diffuses through the material based on these inputs.

Key Features:
- User-friendly interface for inputting initial conditions, boundary conditions, and simulation parameters.
- Real-time visualization of heat diffusion at each time step.
- Option to save the final state of the simulation as an image or data file.
- Ability to compare different IRKsome methods for accuracy and performance.

Steps to Build the Application:
1. Set up the development environment with Python, IRKsome, and any necessary visualization libraries.
2. Define the problem domain: create a mesh representing the rectangular plate using Firedrake.
3. Implement functions to accept user inputs for initial temperatures and boundary conditions.
4. Use IRKsome to define and solve the heat diffusion equation over time.
5. Integrate a visualization component to display the temperature distribution at each time step.
6. Add functionality to compare results from different IRKsome methods.
7. Implement saving options for the final state of the simulation.
8. Test the application with various scenarios to ensure correctness and usability.

Utilizing IRKsome Package:
- Import IRKsome to access its fully implicit Runge-Kutta solvers for solving the heat diffusion equation efficiently.
- Utilize IRKsome's capabilities to handle complex differential equations arising from the discretization of the heat diffusion model.
- Explore different IRKsome methods available to find the best trade-off between computational efficiency and solution accuracy for your specific use case.
