Best deal.II-based papers

deal.II is used by a very large number of projects, as evidenced by the long list of publications using deal.II. We award some of these papers the "Best deal.II-based paper award" to showcase the complexity of applications that can be realized with deal.II. The criteria for this award are:

  • Complexity of the model realized with deal.II;
  • Complexity of the implementation;
  • Size of the computation;
  • Quality of the visualizations shown in the paper.

2024
