# SOLVCON¶

SOLVCON is a collection of conservation-law solvers that use the space-time Conservation Element and Solution Element (CESE) method [Chang95]. The equations to be solved are formulated as:

$\frac{\partial\mathbf{u}}{\partial t} + \sum_{k=1}^3 \mathrm{A}^{(k)}(\mathbf{u}) \frac{\partial\mathbf{u}}{\partial x_k} = 0$

where $$\mathbf{u}$$ is the unknown vector and $$\mathrm{A}^{(1)}$$, $$\mathrm{A}^{(2)}$$, and $$\mathrm{A}^{(3)}$$ are the Jacobian matrices.

## Install¶

Clone from https://github.com/solvcon/solvcon:

$git clone https://github.com/solvcon/solvcon  SOLVCON needs the following packages: A C/C++ compiler supporting C++11, cmake 3.7+, pybind11 Git master, Python 3.6+, Cython 0.16+, Numpy 1.5+, LAPACK, NetCDF 4+, SCOTCH 6.0+, Nose 1.0+, Paramiko 1.14+, boto 2.29.1+, and gmsh 3+. Support for VTK is to be enabled for conda environment. To install the dependency, run the scripts contrib/conda.sh and contrib/build-pybind11-in-conda.sh (they use Anaconda). The development version of SOLVCON only supports local build: $ make; python setup.py build_ext --inplace


To build SOLVCON from source code and install it to your system:

$make; make install  Test the build: $ nosetests --with-doctest
$nosetests ftests/gasplus/*  Building document requires Sphinx 1.3.1+, pstake 0.3.4+, and graphviz 2.28+. Use the following command: $ make -C doc html


The document will be available at doc/build/html/.
