Automating the solution of PDEs on the sphere and other manifolds in FEniCS 1.2

Differential equations posed over immersed manifolds are of particular importance in studying geophysical flows; for instance, ocean and atmosphere simulations crucially rely on the capability to solve equations over the sphere. This paper presents the extension of the FEniCS software compon...
