Abstract: Recently, the nonlinearity continuation method has been used to numerically solve boundary value problems for steady-state Richards equation. The method can be considered as a predictor-corrector procedure with the simplest form which has been applied to date having a trivial, zeroth-order predictor. In this article, effect of a more sophisticated predictor technique is examined. Numerical experiments are performed with finite volume and mimetic finite difference discretizations on various problems, including real-life examples.

Review text

The nonlinearity continuation method, which has been recently applied for boundary value problems for the steady-state Richards equation, can be considered as a predictor-corrector procedure. In its previously studied form, the method had a trivial zeroth-order predictor. In this article, a more sophisticated first-order predictor is considered. The cost of such predictor is solution of one linear system per continuation step. The first order predictor is compared to the zeroth-order one on two test cases with finite volume and mimetic finite difference discretizations on various problems. Both test cases featured highly nonlinear constitutive relationships. In most cases, the first-order predictor reduced computational time by decreasing number of continuation steps and Newton iterations.
