Abstract: We consider Biot model with block preconditioners and generalized eigenvalue problems for scalability and robustness to parameters. A discontinuous Galerkin discretization is employed with the displacement and Darcy flow flux discretized as piecewise continuous in

P_{1}

elements, and the pore pressure as piecewise constant in the

P_{0}

element with a stabilizing term. Parallel algorithms are designed to solve the resulting linear system. Specifically, the GMRES method is employed as the outer iteration algorithm and block-triangular preconditioners are designed to accelerate the convergence. In the preconditioners, the elliptic operators are further approximated by using incomplete Cholesky factorization or two-level additive overlapping Schwartz method where coarse grids are constructed by generalized eigenvalue problems in the overlaps (GenEO). Extensive numerical experiments show a scalability and parametric robustness of the resulting parallel algorithms.
