Mingchao Cai, Morgan State University, Some Fast Solvers for Poroelastic Models

April 3, 2018 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Poroelastic models have been widely used in Biomechanics. For example, modeling brain edema and cancellous bones. We aim at solving the Biot model under the MAC Finite Difference discretization and the stabilized finite element discretizations. To solve the resulting saddle point linear systems, some iterative methods are proposed and compared. In these methods, the outer iteration solver can be the GMRES algorithm, the Uzawa method, or accelerated Uzawa methods. In all these methods, the inner solvers are preconditioners for the generalized saddle point problem. In the preconditioners, the Schur complement approximation is derived by using Fourier analysis approach. These preconditioners are implemented exactly or inexactly. Extensive experiments are given to justify the performance of the proposed preconditioners and to compare all the algorithms.
