derivative

ScalarReal.derivative(axis: str) → ScalarReal

Partial derivative ∂s/∂axis for axis in {"x", "y", "z"} (calculator d/dx / d/dy / d/dz).

Parameters:

axisstr

Cartesian axis along which the partial derivative is taken.

Returns:

ScalarReal

Real scalar derivative with the corresponding calculator entry.

Examples

Differentiate a scalar field along the x axis.
