• Flows in porous media and diffusion problems

• Electrostatics of dielectric and conductive media

• Potential flow

The hyperbolic equation is used for:

• Transient and harmonic wave propagation in acoustics and electromagnetics

• Transverse motions of membranes

The eigenvalue problems are used for:

• Determining natural vibration states in membranes and structural mechanics problems
