firedrake.preconditioners package¶

firedrake.preconditioners.asm module¶

class firedrake.preconditioners.asm.ASMExtrudedStarPC[source]

Bases: ASMStarPC

Patch-based PC using Star of mesh entities implmented as an ASMPatchPC.

ASMExtrudedStarPC is an additive Schwarz preconditioner where each patch consists of all DoFs on the topological star of the mesh entity specified by pc_star_construct_dim.

Create a PC context suitable for PETSc.

Matrix free preconditioners should inherit from this class and implement:

• initialize()

• update()

• apply()

• applyTranspose()

get_patches(V)[source]

Get the patches used for PETSc PSASM

Parameters:

V – the FunctionSpace.

Returns:

a list of index sets defining the ASM patches in local numbering (before lgmap.apply has been called).

class firedrake.preconditioners.asm.ASMLinesmoothPC[source]

Bases: ASMPatchPC

Linesmoother PC for extruded meshes implemented as an ASMPatchPC.

ASMLinesmoothPC is an additive Schwarz preconditioner where each patch consists of all dofs associated with a vertical column (and hence extruded meshes are necessary). Three types of columns are possible: columns of horizontal faces (each column built over a face of the base mesh), columns of vertical faces (each column built over an edge of the base mesh), and columns of vertical edges (each column built over a vertex of the base mesh).

To select the column type or types for the patches, use ‘pc_linesmooth_codims’ to set integers giving the codimension of the base mesh entities for the columns. For example, ‘pc_linesmooth_codims 0,1’ creates patches for each cell and each facet of the base mesh.

firedrake.preconditioners.fdm module¶

class firedrake.preconditioners.fdm.FDMPC[source]

Bases: PCBase

A preconditioner for tensor-product elements that changes the shape functions so that the H^1 Riesz map is diagonalized in the interior of a Cartesian cell, and assembles a global sparse matrix on which other preconditioners, such as ASMStarPC, can be applied.

Here we assume that the volume integrals in the Jacobian can be expressed as:

where alpha and beta are linear functions (tensor contractions). The sparse matrix is obtained by approximating alpha and beta by cell-wise constants and discarding the coefficients in alpha that couple together mixed derivatives and mixed components.

For spaces that are not H^1-conforming, this preconditioner will use the symmetric interior-penalty DG method. The penalty coefficient can be provided in the application context, keyed on "eta".

needs_python_pmat = True

A Pressure-Convection-Diffusion preconditioner for Navier-Stokes.

This preconditioner approximates the inverse of the pressure schur complement for the Navier-Stokes equations by.

$S^{-1} \sim K^{-1} F_p M^{-1}$

Where $$K = \\nabla^2$$, $$M = \mathbb{I}$$ and $$F_p = 1/\mathrm{Re} \\nabla^2 + u\cdot\\nabla$$.

The inverse of $$K$$ is approximated by a KSP which can be controlled using the options prefix pcd_Kp_.

The inverse of $$M$$ is similarly approximated by a KSP which can be controlled using the options prefix pcd_Mp_.

$$F_p$$ requires both the Reynolds number and the current velocity. You must provide these with options using the glbaol option Re for the Reynolds number and the prefixed option pcd_velocity_space which should be the index into the full space that gives velocity field.

Note

Currently, the boundary conditions applied to the PCD operator are correct for characteristic velocity boundary conditions, but sub-optimal for in and outflow boundaries.
