Heat equation with nonconstant coefficient

[ignace-computing]

Hello.
Do you currently have support for the heat equation with non-constant coefficients?

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( k(x) \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \right),$$

or, alternatively,

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} =\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} \left( k(x) u \right),$$

where u(x,t) is the solution and k(x) is the variable coefficient.

Thank you for considering this question.

I believe that works fine

Great. Could you please give me some hints (to an example?), to show how this is possible?
Thanks!

Pretty straight forward if you look at

Check out for example the convection example. Using an operator like Dt-Dx*(k*Dx) should work
