An Iterative Substructuring Method for Coupled Fluid-Solid Acoustic Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast parallel iterative method is proposed for the solution of linear equations arizing from Finite Element discretization of the time harmonic coupled fluid-solid systems in fluid pressure and solid displacement formulation. The fluid and the solid domains are decomposed into nonoverlapping subdomains. Continuity of the solution is enforced by Lagrange multipliers. The system is augmented by duplicating the degrees of freedom on the wet interface. The original degrees of freedom are then eliminated and the resulting system is solved by iterations preconditioned by a coarse space correction. In each iteration, the method requires the solution of one independent local acoustic problem per subdomain and the solution of a global problem with several degrees of freedom per subdomain. Computational results show that the method is scalable with the problem size, frequency, and the number of subdomains. The method generalizes the FETI-H method for the Helmholtz equation to coupled fluid-elastic scattering. The number of iterations is about same as for the FETIH method for the related Helmholtz problem with Neumann boundary condition instead of an elastic scatterer if enough coarse space functions are used. Convergence behavior is explained from the spectrum of the iteration operator and from numerical near decoupling of the equations in the fluid and in the solid regions.

A Neumann-Neumann preconditioned iterative substructuring approach for computing solutions to Poisson's equation with prescribed jumps on an embedded boundary
In multifluid problems with surface tension the fluid pressure and its derivative are discontinuous at fluid interfaces. We present a Cartesian grid embedded boundary method for numerically resolving these discontinuities in which we use Neumann–Neumann preconditioned iterative substructuring to solve the governing equations. We validate this method by computing several well-known Poisson probl...

In this paper we generalize the automated multi–level substructuring method to certain classes of nonlinear eigenvalue problems which can be partitioned into an essential linear and positive definite pencil and a small residual. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by numerical examples modeling damped vibrations of a structure with nonproportional damping, a gyroscopic eigenproblem, an...

The numerical simulation of turbulent indoor-air flows is performed using iterative substructuring methods.

Numerical results from a parallel implementation of an iterative substructuring algorithm are reported. The algorithm is for solving scalar, self-adjoint elliptic partial diierential equations in three dimensions. Results are given for two variants of the algorithm. In the rst variant, exact interior solvers are used; in the second, one multigrid V-cycle is used to approximately solve the inter...
