On PDE Problem Solving Environments for Multidomain Multiphysics Problems

Christos Antonopoulos, Manolis Maroudas, and Manolis Vavalis

Abstract: This paper presents the design, the prototype implementation and the preliminary evaluation of an enhanced meta-computing environment based on the FEniCS Project and focused on multi-domain multi-physics problems modeled with partial differential equations. It is based on scripting languages and their practices, and on the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm and the associated web services technologies. Our design is generic, covering a wide range of problems but our proof of concept implementation is restricted to elliptic PDEs in two or three dimensions.

Keywords: problem solving environments, numerical solution of PDEs, scientific high performance meta-computing, numerical software.
