DUNE Features

The following list gives a short overview over the main features of DUNE and refers you to more detailed documentation.

  • Grid Implementation So far seven grid implementations are available through the DUNE grid interface. Each is geared towards a different purpose and thus has a different set of features. Further grid managers can be obtained by downloading additional modules.

So far seven grid implementations are available through the DUNE grid interface. Each is geared towards a different purpose and thus has a different set of features.

  • Linear Algebra DUNE contains ISTL (the Iterative Solver Template Library) for powerful (parallel) linear algebra. The main features are:
  • Abstractions for block matrices (e.g. compressed row storage BCRSMatrix, block diagonal matrices DiagonalMatrix and block vectors BlockVector, see doxygen documentation)
  • Block structure arbitrarily nestable
  • High performance through generic programming
  • Expression templates for BLAS1 routines
  • Several standard solvers (Krylov methods and stationary iterative methods)
  • Highly scalable parallel algebraic multigrid method available as preconditioner.
  • Quadrature Formulas
  • Quadrature rules for all common element types
  • Rules for hypercubes up to order 19, for simplices up to order 12
  • Easy access
  • Shape Functions
  • Lagrangian shape functions of arbitrary order
  • Monomial shape functions of arbitrary order for Discontinuous Galerkin methods
  • Orthonormal shape functions of arbitrary order
  • Raviart-Thomas shape functions of lowest order for cube and of arbitrary order for simplex elements
  • Input/Output
  • Reading grid files in the gmsh format
  • Reading grid files in the grid independent Dune grid format DGF
  • Reading simplex grids through DGF constructed using the tools Tetgen and Triangle
  • Reading and writing in the AmiraMesh format
  • Subsampling of high-order functions
  • Write grids and data in the format of the visualization toolkit (vtk)
  • Visualization using GRAPE
  • Output in Data Explorer format
  • Arbitrary order lagrange spaces for different grid structures
  • Discontinuous Galerkin spaces of arbitrary order both with orthonormal and Lagrange basis function
  • Further discrete function spaces include Raviart-Thomas, Nedelec, and others
  • Linear and non-linear solvers
  • Time discretization method, e.g., explicit, implicit, and IMEX Runge-Kutta methods or multistep methods
  • Support for parallelization and adaptivity (both h and p refinement)
