Partitionierung von Finite-Elemente-Netzen

Reichel, U. 30 October 1998 (has links) (PDF)
The realization of the finite element method on parallel computers is usually based on a domain decomposition approach. This paper is concerned with the problem of finding an optimal decomposition and an appropriate mapping of the subdomains to the processors. The quality of this partitioning is measured in several metrics but it is also expressed in the computing time for solving specific systems of finite element equations. The software environment is first described. In particular, the data structure and the accumulation algorithm are introduced. Then several partitioning algorithms are compared. Spectral bisection was used with different modifications including Kernighan-Lin refinement, post-processing techniques and terminal propagation. The final recommendations should give good decompositions for all finite element codes which are based on principles similar to ours. The paper is a shortened English version of Preprint SFB393/96-18 (Uwe Reichel: Partitionierung von Finite-Elemente-Netzen), SFB 393, TU Chemnitz-Zwickau, December 1996. To be selfcontained, some material of Preprint SPC95_5 (see below) is included. The paper appeared as Preprint SFB393/96-18a, SFB 393, TU Chemnitz-Zwickau, January 1997.

Implicit extrapolation methods for multilevel finite element computations

Jung, M., Rüde, U. 30 October 1998 (has links) (PDF)
Extrapolation methods for the solution of partial differential equations are commonly based on the existence of error expansions for the approximate solution. Implicit extrapolation, in the contrast, is based on applying extrapolation indirectly, by using it on quantities like the residual. In the context of multigrid methods, a special technique of this type is known as \034 -extrapolation. For finite element systems this algorithm can be shown to be equivalent to higher order finite elements. The analysis is local and does not use global expansions, so that the implicit extrapolation technique may be used on unstructured meshes and in cases where the solution fails to be globally smooth. Furthermore, the natural multilevel structure can be used to construct efficient multigrid and multilevel preconditioning techniques. The effectivity of the method is demonstrated for heat conduction problems and problems from elasticity theory.

Anisotropic mesh refinement for singularly perturbed reaction diffusion problems

Apel, Th., Lube, G. 30 October 1998 (has links) (PDF)
The paper is concerned with the finite element resolution of layers appearing in singularly perturbed problems. A special anisotropic grid of Shishkin type is constructed for reaction diffusion problems. Estimates of the finite element error in the energy norm are derived for two methods, namely the standard Galerkin method and a stabilized Galerkin method. The estimates are uniformly valid with respect to the (small) diffusion parameter. One ingredient is a pointwise description of derivatives of the continuous solution. A numerical example supports the result. Another key ingredient for the error analysis is a refined estimate for (higher) derivatives of the interpolation error. The assumptions on admissible anisotropic finite elements are formulated in terms of geometrical conditions for triangles and tetrahedra. The application of these estimates is not restricted to the special problem considered in this paper.

Anisotropic mesh refinement in stabilized Galerkin methods

Apel, Thomas, Lube, Gert 30 October 1998 (has links) (PDF)
The numerical solution of the convection-diffusion-reaction problem is considered in two and three dimensions. A stabilized finite element method of Galerkin/Least squares type accomodates diffusion-dominated as well as convection- and/or reaction- dominated situations. The resolution of boundary layers occuring in the singularly perturbed case is accomplished using anisotropic mesh refinement in boundary layer regions. In this paper, the standard analysis of the stabilized Galerkin method on isotropic meshes is extended to more general meshes with boundary layer refinement. Simplicial Lagrangian elements of arbitrary order are used.

Realization and comparison of various mesh refinement strategies near edges

Apel, T., Milde, F. 30 October 1998 (has links) (PDF)
This paper is concerned with mesh refinement techniques for treating elliptic boundary value problems in domains with re- entrant edges and corners, and focuses on numerical experiments. After a section about the model problem and discretization strategies, their realization in the experimental code FEMPS3D is described. For two representative examples the numerically determined error norms are recorded, and various mesh refinement strategies are compared.
