1# libCEED: Examples
2
3This page provides a brief description of the examples for the libCEED library.

5## Basic libCEED Examples
6
7Two examples are provided that rely only upon libCEED without any external
8libraries.
9
10### Example 1
11
12This example uses the mass matrix to compute the length, area, or volume of a
13region, depending upon runtime parameters.
14
15### Example 2
16
17This example uses the diffusion matrix to compute the surface area of a region,
18depending upon runtime parameters.

20## Bakeoff Problems
21
22This section provides a brief description of the bakeoff problems, used as examples
23for the libCEED library. These bakeoff problems are high-order benchmarks designed
24to test and compare the performance of high-order finite element codes.
25
26For further documentation, readers may wish to consult the
27[CEED documentation](http://ceed.exascaleproject.org/bps/) of the bakeoff problems.
28
29### Bakeoff Problem 1
30
31Bakeoff problem 1 is the *L<sup>2</sup>* projection problem into the finite element space.
32
33The supplied examples solve *_B_ u = f*, where *_B_* is the mass matrix.
34
35The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre. There is one more quadrature point in each dimension than nodal point, *q = p + 1*.
36
37### Bakeoff Problem 2
38
39Bakeoff problem 2 is the *L<sup>2</sup>* projection problem into the finite element space on a vector system.
40
41The supplied examples solve *_B_ _u_ = f*, where *_B_* is the mass matrix.
42
43The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre. There is one more quadrature point in each dimension than nodal point, *q = p + 1*.
44
45### Bakeoff Problem 3
46
47Bakeoff problem 3 is the Poisson problem.
48
49The supplied examples solve *_A_ u = f*, where *_A_* is the Poisson operator.
50
51The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre. There is one more quadrature point in each dimension than nodal point, *q = p + 1*.
52
53### Bakeoff Problem 4
54
55Bakeoff problem 4 is the Poisson problem on a vector system.
56
57The supplied examples solve *_A_ _u_ = f*, where *_A_* is the Laplace operator for the Poisson equation.
58
59The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre. There is one more quadrature point in each dimension than nodal point, *q = p + 1*.
60
61### Bakeoff Problem 5
62
63Bakeoff problem 5 is the Poisson problem.
64
65The supplied examples solve *_A_ u = f*, where *_A_* is the Poisson operator.
66
67The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto. The nodal points and quadrature points are collocated.
68
69### Bakeoff Problem 6
70
71Bakeoff problem 6 is the Poisson problem on a vector system.
72
73The supplied examples solve *_A_ _u_ = f*, where *_A_* is the Laplace operator for the Poisson equation.
74
75The nodal points, *p*, are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto, and the quadrature points, *q* are Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto. The nodal points and quadrature points are collocated.

77## PETSc+libCEED Navier-Stokes Solver
78
79The Navier-Stokes problem solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations using an explicit time integration. A more detailed description of the problem formulation
80can be found in the [`navier-stokes`](./navierstokes) folder.
81
82## PETSc+libCEED Surface Area Examples
83
84These examples use the mass operator to compute the surface area of a cube or a discrete cubed-sphere, using PETSc.
85
86These examples show in particular the constructions of geometric factors to handle problems in which the elements topological dimension is different from the
87geometrical dimension and for which the coordinate transformation Jacobian from the 2D reference space to a manifold embedded in 3D physical space is a non-square matrix.

141The above code assumes a GPU-capable machine with the OCCA backend
142enabled. Depending on the available backends, other CEED resource specifiers can
143be provided with the `-ceed` option. Other command line arguments can be found in the
144[`petsc`](./petsc/README.md) folder.
