discretize¶

discretize - A python package for finite volume discretization.

The vision is to create a package for finite volume simulation with a focus on large scale inverse problems. This package has the following features:

modular with respect to the spacial discretization
built with the inverse problem in mind
supports 1D, 2D and 3D problems
access to sparse matrix operators
access to derivatives to mesh variables

Currently, discretize supports:

Tensor Meshes (1D, 2D and 3D)
Cylindrically Symmetric Meshes
QuadTree and OcTree Meshes (2D and 3D)
Logically Rectangular Meshes (2D and 3D)
