About this code

This code creates the matrices in solving the Stokes equation over 3D domain.

See JSIAM2020_NS.pdf for an introduction of the problem.

Note:

This project does not provide the matrices needed for the a priori error estimation.

About the structure

There are four folders existing. In each folder, the setting file is prepared for a mesh with different size. But since the matrices will be huge, the matrix is not ready yet.

  • Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_4 (The matrix will be about 0.05G)
  • Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_8 (The matrix will be about 0.5G)
  • Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_16 (The matrix will be about 1.8G)
  • Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_32 (The matrix will be about 10G)

There is also a bin folder, which contains the commands to create matrix and solve the equation.

How to create matrix

Requirement:

  • FEniCS package (http://www.fenicsproject.org)
  • MATLAB or Octave (The create_matrix.sh use Octave as default. You can customize this as MATLAB.)

To create matrix for each folder, enter the bin folder and run create_matrix.sh:

cd ./bin/
chmod 755 *
./create_matrix.sh ../Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_4/

Calculate the approximate solution

If the solution is needed to check the result, run get_solution.sh, which applies the Lagrange method to solve the equation.

cd ./bin/
./get_solution.sh ../Case_2020_08_25_Cube_N_4/

About the directory

Folders or files beginning with a dot are not displayed by default.
