How to solve the following PDEs in Freefem


Dear freefem team, I am currently trying to implement the following method in freefem. In the section 2.1 of the paper, it includes 3 pdes for solving. The last one is the elasticity equation which is clear to me, however I am not sure if it possible to solve the first 2 PDEs in Freefem [N-S with boby force and engery equation]. Thank you for the help.

You can apply Newton’s method as described in

You have to adapt the method to include temperature (this should not lead to serious difficulties).
