Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install rheolef-doc on Ubuntu 22.04.

What is rheolef-doc

rheolef-doc is:

Rheolef is a computer environment that serves as a convenient laboratory for computations in applied mathematics involving finite element-like methods. It provides a set of commands and C++ algorithms and containers.

Most basically, containers cover the classic graph data structure for sparse matrix formats and finite element meshes. At a higher level of abstraction, they can handle approximate finite element spaces, discrete fields. Flexible and powerful expressions are used to specify bilinear forms.

Current applications include:

  • massively distributed memory finite element environment, based on MPI;
  • elasticity, Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems in 2D and 3D;
  • complex fluids applications: viscoplasticity, viscoelasticity, wall slip;
  • nonlinear problems with fixed-point, Newton and continuation methods;
  • high order polynomials, mixed elements and discontinuous Galerkin methods;
  • auto-adaptive mesh approaches;
  • axisymmetric problems;
  • multi-regions and variable coefficient problems.

This package provides the documentation.
