Abstract

We present new results on the Relaxed Dimensional Factorization (RDF) preconditioner for solving saddle point problems from incompressible flow simulations, first introduced in Benzi et al. (2011). This method contains a parameter α>0α>0, to be chosen by the user. Previous works provided an estimate of αα in the 2D case using Local Fourier Analysis. A novel algebraic estimation technique for finding a suitable value of the RDF parameter in both the 2D and the 3D case with arbitrary geometries is proposed. This technique is tested on a variety of discrete saddle point problems arising from the approximation of the Navier–Stokes equations using a Marker-and-Cell scheme and a finite element one. We also show results for a large-scale problem relevant for hemodynamics simulation that we solve in parallel using up to 8196 cores.

Navier–Stokes equations

The Navier–Stokes equations (nævˈjeː_stəʊks ) are partial differential equations which describe the motion of viscous fluid substances, named after French engineer and physicist Claude-Louis Navier and Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes. They were developed over several decades of progressively building the theories, from 1822 (Navier) to 1842-1850 (Stokes). The Navier–Stokes equations mathematically express momentum balance and conservation of mass for Newtonian fluids.

Parameter

A parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. Parameter has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition.

Statistical parameter

In statistics, as opposed to its general use in mathematics, a parameter is any measured quantity of a statistical population that summarises or describes an aspect of the population, such as a mean or a standard deviation. If a population exactly follows a known and defined distribution, for example the normal distribution, then a small set of parameters can be measured which completely describes the population, and can be considered to define a probability distribution for the purposes of extracting samples from this population.
