* Package name : libnektar++ Version : 5.0.0 Upstream Author : Chris Cantwell <c.cantw...@imperial.ac.uk> * URL : http://www.nektar.info/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C++ Description : Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework - libraries Nektar++ is a C++ framework for the development of computational solvers for partial differential equations based on the spectral/hp element method. . This package contains the libraries which implement the spectral/hp element discretisation and associated support classes. It provides a tensor-product based finite element implementation designed to seemlessly and efficiently construct both low-order h-type solvers, and high-order p-type solvers, for a wide range of partial differential equations. . It supports: the representation of one-, two- and three-dimensional fields as a collection of piecewise continuous or discontinuous polynomial domains; embedded domains; hybrid-shaped elements; hierarchical and nodal expansion bases; and continuous and discontinuous Galerkin operators. I am one of the leaders of this project. We develop and use the software daily and there is a growing world-wide user base in academia and industry. Unlike other finite element packages, Nektar++ natively supports the use of high-order finite element methods. Packaging will be maintained as part of the Nektar++ project.
