Solvcon documentation

Solvcon is a framework to write explicit and time-accurate simulation codes for PDEs with the unstructured mesh. As a framework, Solvcon provides:

1. A data structure for two- and three-dimensional mixed-type unstructured meshes.
2. Unstructured mesh importers (currently Fluent Gambit (tm) neutral file format is implemented).
3. Simulation data writers in VTK legacy format.
4. An organized and flexible system to write pre- and post-processing codes (the Hooks).
5. Predefined and automated domain-decomposition logic.
6. IPC (Inter-Process Communication) and RPC (Remote Procedure Call).

Note

Solvcon is not a framework that applies to all kinds of scientific code, but it’s general enough to help programs which fit in the category. You can use Solvcon for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Computational Mechanics, Computational Electromagnetics, or any other fields that solve PDEs.

By using Solvcon, you are able to concentrate in implementing the essential numerical algorithm in one-, two- or three-dimensional space. You don’t need to worry about how to parse and load an unstructured mesh, where to specify the initial conditions in your code, or how to implement the boundary conditions for your solver. Solvcon provides the guidelines for all the components that a simulation code for PDEs needed.

If you don’t even know anything about or have no experience in implementing a scientific code, then Solvcon is a good resource for you to get start.
