Interface Solvers and Preconditioners of Domain Decomposition Type for Multiphase Flow in Multiblock Porous Media
نویسنده
چکیده
A multiblock mortar approach to modeling multiphase ow in porous media decomposes the simulation domain into a series of blocks with possibly di erent physical and numerical models employed in each block. Matching conditions along the interfaces are imposed through the use of mortar nite elements. A parallel domain decomposition algorithm reduces the algebraic nonlinear system to an interface problem which is solved via a nonlinear multigrid with Newton-GMRES smoothing.

Multiblock Modeling of Flow in Porous Media and Applications
We investigate modeling flow in porous media in multiblock domain. Mixed finite element methods are used for subdomain discretizations. Physically meaningful boundary conditions are imposed on the non-matching interfaces via mortar finite element spaces. We investigate the pollution effect of nonmatching grids error on the numerical solution away from interfaces. We prove that most of the error...
متن کاملFETI and BDD Preconditioners for Stokes-Mortar-Darcy Systems
We consider the coupling across an interface of a fluid flow and a porous media flow. The differential equations involve Stokes equations in the fluid region and Darcy equations in the porous region, and a coupling through an interface with Beaver-Joseph-Saffman transmission conditions. The discretization consists of P2/P1 triangular Taylor-Hood finite elements in the fluid region, the lowest o...
متن کاملParallel Simulation of Multiphase/Multicomponent Flow Models
The simulation of flow in porous media is a computationally demanding task. Thermodynamical equilibrium calculations and complex, heterogeneous geological structures normally gives a multiphysics/multidomain problem to solve. Thus, efficient solution methods are needed. The research simulator Athena is a 3D, multiphase, multicomponent, porous media flow simulator. A parallel version of the simu...
متن کاملA Mixed Nite Element Discretization on Non-matching Multiblock Grids for a Degenerate Parabolic Equation Arising in Porous Media Ow
| Mixed nite element methods on multiblock domains are considered for nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations arising in modeling multiphase ow in porous media. The subdomain grids need not match on the interfaces, where mortar nite element spaces are introduced to properly impose ux-matching conditions. The low regularity of the solution is treated through time integration, and the degeneracy...
متن کاملAn open-source toolbox for multiphase flow in porous media
Multiphase flow in porous media provides a wide range of applications: from the environmental understanding (aquifer, site-pollution) to industrial process improvements (oil production, waste management). Modeling of such flows involves specific volume-averaged equations and therefore specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. In this work, we develop a toolbox for modeling multiphase f...
