FENICS Solution of the Steady Burgers Equation

burgers_steady_viscous, a FENICS script which uses the finite element method to solve a version of the steady viscous Burgers equation over the interval [-1,+1].

Note that I have installed FENICS using Docker, and so to run this script I issue the commands:

1. cd $HOME/fenicsproject/burgers_steady_viscous
2. fenicsproject run
3. python3 burgers_steady_viscous.py
4. exit
