PARTITIONED COUPLING FOR SOLVING STOKES-DARCY SYSTEMS

PARTITIONED COUPLING FOR SOLVING STOKES-DARCY SYSTEMS

PID (if applicable): arxiv:2108.13229

Problem Statement

Instationary, coupled Stokes-Darcy two-domain problem: coupled systems of free flow adjacent to permeable (porous) media

Object of Research and Objective

The motivation for this is to avoid problems when using simple direct solvers (sparse direct solvers for the (linearized) subproblems): bad parallel scaling, untrustworthy solution with bad conditioning.

Procedure

Splitting the problem into two subproblems (into free flow and porous media flow) and coupling (with DuMux and preCICE): use of specialized solvers for the subdomains, coupling with preCICE.

Involved Disciplines

Environmental Systems, Mathematics

Model

Stokes flow in the free-flow domain Darcy’s law for the porous domain

Discretization

• Time: first-order backward Euler scheme
• Space: finite volumes
  • Porous Domain (Darcy): mit two-point flux approximation for pressure
  • Free Flow domain (Stokes): staggered grid for pressure and velocity, upwind scheme for approximation of fluxes
