Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. â¢ When using a Dirichlet boundary condition, one prescribes the. value of a variable at the boundary, e.g. u(x) = constant . â¢ When using a Neumann boundary condition, one prescribes the. gradient normal to the boundary of a variable at the boundary, e.g. ânu(x) = constant .
