Abstract

This chapter reviews the GENMIX computer program. The computer program called GENMIX is a name suggestive of its generality, and of its concern with mixing processes. It is a developed version of an earlier program of the same name. GENMIX is a computer program that has been specially devised for the solution of systems of simultaneous equations having the general form: ∂φ/∂x + (a + bω) ∂φ/∂ω = (c ∂φ/∂ω) + d, where x and ω are the two independent variables, a and b are arbitrary functions of the coordinate x; c and d may be arbitrary functions of any dependent and independent variables; and φ stands for any one of a set of dependent variables, each possessing its own differential equation. However, as generality often implies abstractness, and as abstractness is not conducive to the ease of understanding, the generality has been embodied in GENMIX in a special way—the program is presented in a particular embodiment, from which the special versions of interest to particular users can be derived, for the most part, by subtraction.
