Time-dependent Navier-Stokes

General description of the problem

We solve the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations with implicit-explicit (IMEX) scheme. Here is the equations we want to solve:

\begin{eqnarray*} {\mathbf{u}}_{,t} - \nu {\nabla}^2\mathbf{u} + (\mathbf{u}\cdot\nabla)\mathbf{u} + \nabla p = \mathbf{f} \end{eqnarray*}

The idea is as follows: we use backward Euler time for time discretization. The diffusion term is treated implicitly and the convection term is treated explicitly. Let \((u, p)\) denote the velocity and pressure, respectively and \((v, q)\) denote the corresponding test functions, we end up with the following linear system:

\begin{eqnarray*} m(u^{n+1}, v) + \Delta{t}\cdot a((u^{n+1}, p^{n+1}), (v, q))=m(u^n, v)-\Delta{t}c(u^n;u^n, v) \end{eqnarray*}

where \(a((u, p), (v, q))\) is the bilinear form of the diffusion term plus the pressure gradient and its transpose (the divergence constraints):

\begin{eqnarray*} a((u, p), (v, q)) = \int_\Omega \nu\nabla{u}\nabla{v}-p\nabla\cdot v-q\nabla\cdot ud\Omega \end{eqnarray*}

\(m(u, v)\) is the mass matrix:

\begin{eqnarray*} m(u, v) = \int_{\Omega} u \cdot v d\Omega \end{eqnarray*}

and \(c(u;u, v)\) is the convection term:

\begin{eqnarray*} c(u;u, v) = \int_{\Omega} (u \cdot \nabla u) \cdot v d\Omega \end{eqnarray*}

Substracting \(m(u^n, v) + \Delta{t}a((u^n, p^n), (v, q))\) from both sides of the equation, we have the incremental form:

\begin{eqnarray*} m(\Delta{u}, v) + \Delta{t}\cdot a((\Delta{u}, \Delta{p}), (v, q)) = \Delta{t}(-a(u^n, p^n), (q, v)) - \Delta{t}c(u^n;u^n, v) \end{eqnarray*}

The system we want to solve can be written in matrix form:

\begin{eqnarray*} \left( \begin{array}{cc} A & B^{T} \\ B & 0 \\ \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} U \\ P \\ \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} F \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \right) \end{eqnarray*}

Grad-Div stablization

Similar to step-57, we add \(\gamma B^T M_p^{-1} B\) to the upper left block of the system. This is a term that is consistent, i.e., the corresponding operators applied to the exact solution would be zero. (This is because \(\gamma B^T M_p^{-1} B\) applied to the velocity vector corresponds to the operator \(\gamma\text{grad}\;\text{div}\) applied to the velocity field – which is of course zero because of the incompressibility constraint \(\text{div}\;\mathbf{u}=0\). On the other hand, the term is not zero when applied to a finite element approximation of the exact velocity.) With this, the system becomes:

\begin{eqnarray*} \left( \begin{array}{cc} \tilde{A} & B^{T} \\ B & 0 \\ \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} U \\ P \\ \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} F \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \right) \end{eqnarray*}

where \(\tilde{A} = A + \gamma B^T M_p^{-1} B\).

A detailed explanation of the Grad-Div stablization can be found in [1].

Block preconditioner

The block preconditioner is pretty much the same as in step-22, except for two additional terms, namely the inertial term (mass matrix) and the Grad-Div term.

The block preconditioner can be written as:

\begin{eqnarray*} P^{-1} = \left( \begin{array}{cc} {\tilde{A}}^{-1} & 0 \\ {\tilde{S}}^{-1}B{\tilde{A}}^{-1} & -{\tilde{S}}^{-1} \\ \end{array} \right) \end{eqnarray*}

where \({\tilde{S}}\) is the Schur complement of \({\tilde{A}}\), which can be decomposed into the Schur complements of the mass matrix, diffusion matrix, and the Grad-Div term:

\begin{eqnarray*} {\tilde{S}}^{-1} \approx {S_{mass}}^{-1} + {S_{diff}}^{-1} + {S_{Grad-Div}}^{-1} \approx [B^T (diag M)^{-1} B]^{-1} + \Delta{t}(\nu + \gamma)M_p^{-1} \end{eqnarray*}

For more information about preconditioning incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, please refer to [1] and [2].

Test case

We test the code with a classical benchmark case, flow past a cylinder, in both 2D and 3D. The geometry setup of the case can be found on this webpage. The video shows the 2D flow when \(Re = 100\), where mesh refinement is periodically performed. To test the parallel scaling, a 3D case with 1009804 degrees of freedom was ran for 10 time steps on different number of (Xeon E5-2560) processors, results are shown in the graph.

Create the triangulation

Create middle part first as a hyper shell.

Then move the vertices to the points where we want them to be to create a slightly asymmetric cube with a hole:

}

Refine once to create the same level of refinement as in the neighboring domains:

middle.refine_global(1);

Must copy the triangulation because we cannot merge triangulations with refinement:

void flatten_triangulation(const Triangulation< dim, spacedim1 > &in_tria, Triangulation< dim, spacedim2 > &out_tria)

Left domain is requred in 3d only.

Block preconditioner

The block Schur preconditioner can be written as the product of three matrices: \( P^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \tilde{A}^{-1} & 0\\ 0 & I\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} I & -B^T\\ 0 & I\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} I & 0\\ 0 & \tilde{S}^{-1}\end{pmatrix} \) \(\tilde{A}\) is symmetric since the convection term is eliminated from the LHS. \(\tilde{S}^{-1}\) is the inverse of the Schur complement of \(\tilde{A}\), which consists of a reaction term, a diffusion term, a Grad-Div term and a convection term. In practice, the convection contribution is ignored, namely \(\tilde{S}^{-1} = -(\nu + \gamma)M_p^{-1} - \frac{1}{\Delta{t}}{[B(diag(M_u))^{-1}B^T]}^{-1}\) where \(M_p\) is the pressure mass, and \({[B(diag(M_u))^{-1}B^T]}\) is an approximation to the Schur complement of (velocity) mass matrix \(BM_u^{-1}B^T\).

Same as the tutorials, we define a vmult operation for the block preconditioner instead of write it as a matrix. It can be seen from the above definition, the result of the vmult operation of the block preconditioner can be obtained from the results of the vmult operations of \(M_u^{-1}\), \(M_p^{-1}\), \(\tilde{A}^{-1}\), which can be transformed into solving three symmetric linear systems.

class BlockSchurPreconditioner : public Subscriptor

double viscosity,
double dt,
const std::vector<IndexSet> &owned_partitioning,
private:
TimerOutput &timer;
const double gamma;
const double viscosity;
const double dt;
system_matrix;

As discussed, \({[B(diag(M_u))^{-1}B^T]}\) and its inverse need to be computed. We can either explicitly compute it out as a matrix, or define it as a class with a vmult operation. The second approach saves some computation to construct the matrix, but leads to slow convergence in CG solver because it is impossible to apply a preconditioner. We go with the first route.

BlockSchurPreconditioner::BlockSchurPreconditioner

Input parameters and system matrix, mass matrix as well as the mass schur matrix are needed in the preconditioner. In addition, we pass the partitioning information into this class because we need to create some temporary block vectors inside.

The vmult operation strictly follows the definition of BlockSchurPreconditioner introduced above. Conceptually it computes \(u = P^{-1}v\).

Temporary vectors

This block computes \(u_1 = \tilde{S}^{-1} v_1\), where CG solvers are used for \(M_p^{-1}\) and \(S_m^{-1}\).

1e-6 * src.block(1).l2_norm());
PETScWrappers::SolverCG cg_sm(sm_control,
mass_schur->get_mpi_communicator());

PreconditionBlockJacobi works find on Sm if we do not refine the mesh. Because after refine_mesh is called, zero entries will be created on the diagonal (not sure why), which prevents PreconditionBlockJacobi from being used.

Sm_preconditioner.initialize(mass_schur->block(1, 1));
cg_sm.solve(
mass_schur->block(1, 1), dst.block(1), src.block(1), Sm_preconditioner);
dst.block(1) *= -1 / dt;
}
void initialize(const MatrixBase &matrix, const AdditionalData &additional_data=AdditionalData())

Adding up these two, we get \(\tilde{S}^{-1}v_1\).

dst.block(1) += tmp;

Compute \(v_0 - B^T\tilde{S}^{-1}v_1\) based on \(u_1\).

system_matrix->block(0, 1).vmult(utmp, dst.block(1));
utmp *= -1.0;
utmp += src.block(0);

Finally, compute the product of \(\tilde{A}^{-1}\) and utmp using another CG solver.

{
TimerOutput::Scope timer_section(timer, "CG for A");

1e-6 * src.block(0).l2_norm());
PETScWrappers::SolverCG cg_a(a_control,
mass_schur->get_mpi_communicator());

We do not use any preconditioner for this block, which is of course slow, only because the performance of the only two preconditioners available PreconditionBlockJacobi and PreconditionBoomerAMG are even worse than none.

A_preconditioner.initialize(system_matrix->block(0, 0));
cg_a.solve(
system_matrix->block(0, 0), dst.block(0), utmp, A_preconditioner);

The incompressible Navier-Stokes solver

Parallel incompressible Navier Stokes equation solver using implicit-explicit time scheme. This program is built upon dealii tutorials step-57, step-40, step-22, and step-20. The system equation is written in the incremental form, and we treat the convection term explicitly. Therefore the system equation is linear and symmetric, which does not need to be solved with Newton's iteration. The system is further stablized and preconditioned with Grad-Div method, where GMRES solver is used as the outer solver.

System matrix to be solved

Mass matrix is a block matrix which includes both velocity mass matrix and pressure mass matrix.

The schur complement of mass matrix is not a block matrix. However, because we want to reuse the partition we created for the system matrix, it is defined as a block matrix where only one block is actually used.

The latest known solution.

The increment at a certain time step.

InsIMEX::solve

Solve the linear system using FGMRES solver with block preconditioner. After solving the linear system, the same AffineConstraints object as used in assembly must be used again, to set the constrained value. The second argument is used to determine whether the block preconditioner should be reset or not.

Resetting

Only use nonzero constraints at the very first time step

We have to assemble the LHS for the initial two time steps: once using nonzero_constraints, once using zero_constraints, as well as the steps imediately after mesh refinement.

bool assemble_system = (time.get_timestep() < 3 || refined);
refined = false;
assemble(apply_nonzero_constraints, assemble_system);

Note we have to use a non-ghosted vector to do the addition.
