PETSc has many tutorial examples, found in tutorials/ directories throughout the src/ tree. Since these do not have informative names and vary greatly in their complexity and level of internal documentation, this page provides guides to connect the tutorial examples to particular physics, discretizations, solvers, etc. that you might be interested in.
