Hello,

One of the PDEs  in my (1D) system has the following form,

a*d_phi1/dx +  b*d_(ln_phi2)/dx + c*d_(phi3)/dt == d

i.e. the PDE is defined such that one of the spatial derivatives is with 
respect to the natural logarithm of the field variable  to be solved for.

I don't think a simple change of variables shall work here,  since the field 
variable phi2, appears in its 'correct' form  where it couples with other PDEs 
in the system,   i.e. in another PDE of this system, we have the term d_phi2/dx 
  directly, i.e. without the logarithmic derivative.


Looking at FiPy's general conservation formula that it handles, it seems that 
this setup is not amenable to be 'digested' in the way the PDE is currently 
written.

Is there any other technique/trick that  is possible, so as to massage this 
non-conforming structure so as to re-cast it in FiPy compatible form ?    (ie. 
perhaps some other transformation, mapping or some other  trick, maybe ?).


Thanks and Regards

Krishna
