Software
-
The
Incompressible Flow & Iterative Solver Software
(IFISS) package is a software library that
generates the algebraic systems arising from finite element discretization
of the diffusion, convection-diffusion, Stokes and Navier-Stokes
equations and explores solution algorithms for the associated
problems.
It is an open-source Matlab package associated with the book referenced
above, and which can also be used as a stand-alone experimental library.
