Ryujin is a high-performance high-order collocation-type finite-element solver for conservation equations such as the compressible Navier-Stokes and Euler equations of gas dynamics. The solver is based on the convex limiting technique to ensure invariant domain preservation and uses the finite element library deal.II (website) and the vector class SIMD library. As such the solver maintains important physical invariants and is guaranteed to be stable without the use of ad-hoc tuning parameters.

Ryujin features the following equation modules selectable by the following parameter flags:
equation = euler, an optimized solver module for the compressible Euler equations with polytropic equation of state.equation = euler aeos, a generalized solver module for the compressible Euler equation with an arbitrary or tabulated equation of state.equation = navier stokes, an optimized solver module for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with polytropic equation of state, Newtonian fluid model, and Fourier's law for the heat flux.equation = shallow water, a module for the shallow water equations.equation = scalar conservation, a module for scalar conservation equations with user-supplied flux. The module features a greedy wave-speed estimate to maintain an invariant domain, a generic indicator based on the entropy-viscosity commutator technique with a general, entropy-like function, and a customizable convex limiter.
