Use of algebraic dual spaces in domain decomposition methods for Darcy flow in 3D domains

In this work we use algebraic dual spaces with a domain decomposition method to solve the Darcy equations. We define the broken Sobolev spaces and their finite dimensional counterparts. A global trace space is defined that connects the solution between the broken spaces. Use of algebraic dual spaces results in a sparse, metric-free...

A hybrid mimetic spectral element method for three-dimensional linear elasticity problems

We introduce a domain decomposition structure-preserving method based on a hybrid mimetic spectral element method for three-dimensional linear elasticity problems in curvilinear conforming structured meshes. The method is an equilibrium method which satisfies pointwise equilibrium of forces. The domain decomposition is established through...

Non-intrusive subdomain POD-TPWL for reservoir history matching

This paper presents a non-intrusive subdomain POD-TPWL (SD POD-TPWL) for reservoir history matching through integrating domain decomposition (DD), proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), radial basis function (RBF) interpolation, and the trajectory piecewise linearization (TPWL). It is an efficient approach for model reduction and linearization...

Comparison of Two-Level Preconditioners Derived from Deflation, Domain Decomposition and Multigrid Methods

For various applications, it is well-known that a multi-level, in particular two-level, preconditioned CG (PCG) method is an efficient method for solving large and sparse linear systems with a coefficient matrix that is symmetric positive definite. The corresponding two-level preconditioner combines traditional and projection-type...

Structured parallelization of a multi-block Navier-Stokes solver targeting distributed memory platforms

SOLEQS is a sequential three-dimensional multi-block multi-zone compressible Navier-Stokes solver, produced by NLR. In this paper is described how this large-scale application code in the order of 120,000 lines can be parallelized towards different computing platforms in a structured and manageable way. This paralellization is done step-wise,...
