Domain Decomposition Methods Applied to a System of ConvectionDiffusion-Reaction Equations
Abstract:
Obtaining efficient and robust solutions to realistic fluid flow problems with chemical reactions is a challenging computational task. This is due to the potential wide disparity in time and space scales and the severe nonlinearities. However, there is significant industrial application for such a capability in areas such as energy production, propulsion, and materials processing. These applications are often characterized by regions of low Mach number flow. This study investigates Newton-Krylov algorithms with domain-based preconditioning for the solution of these types of problems. Domain-based preconditioners may offer improvements in robustness and parallelism over more standard ILU type preconditioners. Results are presented comparing additive and multiplicative Schwarz preconditioners to more standard global ILU preconditioners on a low Mach number combustion problem. 1.
