Dune-CurvedGrid - A Dune module for surface parametrization
Identifiers (Article)
Abstract
In this paper we introduce and describe an implementation of curved (surface) geometries within the Dune framework for grid-based discretizations. Therefore, we employ the abstraction of geometries as local-functions bound to a grid element, and the abstraction of a grid as connectivity of elements together with a grid-function that can be localized to the elements to provide element local parametrizations of the curved surface.
