1 Introduction

This tutorial is a step-by-step introduction to the different concepts necessary to use Gerris.

Various versions of this tutorial are available:

In this tutorial I will assume that you are familiar with the Unix shell (and that you are running some version of a Unix system). Some knowledge of C programming would also be very helpful if you intend to extend Gerris with your own objects.
