Abstract
We present FoamGrid, a new implementation of the Dune grid interface. FoamGridimplements one- and two-dimensional grids in a physical space of arbitrary dimension, which
allows for grids for curved domains. Even more, the grids are not expected to have a manifold
structure, i.e., more than two elements can share a common facet. This makes FoamGrid the
grid data structure of choice for simulating structures such as foams, discrete fracture networks,
or network flow problems. FoamGrid implements adaptive non-conforming refinement with
element parametrizations. As an additional feature it allows removal and addition of elements
in an existing grid, which makes FoamGrid suitable for network growth problems. We show
how to use FoamGrid, with particular attention to the extensions of the grid interface needed
to handle non-manifold topology and grid growth. Three numerical examples demonstrate the
possibilities offered by FoamGrid.
