Wave equation

$\displaystyle \frac{\partial \dot s}{\partial t} =
c^2 ( \frac{\partial^2 s}{\...
...rac{\partial^2 s}{\partial {x_2}^2} +
\frac{\partial^2 s}{\partial {x_3}^2} )
$

$\displaystyle \frac{\partial s}{\partial t} = \dot s
$

The primary unknowns are the wave_scalar $ s$ and its first time derivative wave_fscalar $ \dot s$ ( as TOCHNOG only solves first order in time equations, the first time derivative of $ s$ also becomes primary unknown in order to turn this second order in time equation into a set of first order in time equations). Further notation: $ x$ space coordinate, $ t$ time and $ c$ speed of sound.
