diffX

differentiate a spatial variable in the x-direction

---

Declaration

 du = diffX(u,n)

Parameters

• u variable with dimensions \((x,y,z)\)
• n (optional) order of differentiation \(\frac{d^n}{dx^n}\) (default 1)

Returns

• du differentiated variable in the spatial domain

Discussion

Performs spectral differentiation on variable u.
