DUNE Numerics
DUNE
DUNE, the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment is a modular toolbox for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with grid-based methods. It supports the easy implementation of methods like Finite Elements (FE), Finite Volumes (FV), and also Finite Differences (FD).
DUNE is free software licensed under the GPL (version 2) with a so called “runtime exception” (see license). This licence is similar to the one under which the libstdc++ libraries are distributed. Thus it is possible to use DUNE even in proprietary software.
The underlying idea of DUNE is to create slim interfaces allowing an efficient use of legacy and/or new libraries. Modern C++ programming techniques enable very different implementations of the same concept using a common interface at a very low overhead. Thus DUNE ensures efficiency in scientific computations and supports high-performance computing applications.
Particular highlights are
- a generic grid interface, allowing to interface a range of very different grid implementations
- the Iterative Solver Template Library, featuring an algebraic multigrid preconditioner
- Highlevel interfaces for trial and test functions and generic discretization modules
- Python binding for the full grid interface and a flexible concept to provide bindings for user modules.

DUNE/PDELab Course Material available for self-study
The Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing in Heidelberg has hosted an annual summer school on solving PDEs with Dune and PDELab for the last decade. For this year’s virtual edition of the course, we have recorded most of our lectures. We are now making this material available for asynchronous self-study. The material can be found here: https://dune-pdelab-course.readthedocs.io/
