I am a Ph.D. student with Prof. Tryggvason at the U. of Michigan and I'm working on DNS of multiphase flows using a front-tracking method. Our code requires the solution of elliptic problems with variables coefficients on a rectangular, staggered, constant step grid (we use a finite-difference formulation similar to the MAC method). With our 2D and 3D serial codes, we typically use Mudpack.But we wanted to parallellize the codes and run large 3D simulations. Since I didn't find the equivalent of Mudpack in parallel, I developed my own programs and would like to know if you'd be interested in putting them on your site. The main features are: - MPI - staggered grid (unlike Mudpack), rectangular domain, constant dx, dy, (dz) - V or W cycling - full weighting for the restriction and bilinear interpolation for the correction - either vertex-centered or cell-centered operations - periodic, Neumann, or Dirichlet BCs I don't make any claim other than the codes work (I only checked on IBM-SP2 and HP-EXEMPLAR). They are fairly short and documentation is OK. Bernard Bunner Editor's Note: in mgnet/Codes/bunner. ------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 07 Jan 1998 16:48:08 -0200 From: Armando de Oliveira Fortuna Subject: Learning Tool (SOR, Multigrid) I wrote a solver for the Laplace/Poisson equations which allows the user to select between multigrid, Line-SOR or Point-SOR. It is a nice tool to introduce multigrid to new students - they can see for themselves how multigrid compares to SOR. The program is fully configurable at run-time. The user can choose whether he or she wants to use multigrid or SOR, and then select: * if SOR: * the relaxation parameter * whether to use the Line or Point version if Multigrid: * the type of cycle (F,V,W) * whether to start on the fine grid or on the coarsest grid As for output, the program prints the iteration or mg cycle number and the residue. It also saves that information to a file, so it can be later plotted. I would like to make this program available through MGNet. Thank you very much, Armando de Oliveira Fortuna, Ph.D Av.

The software will be able to produce high-quality meshes which meet user-defined mesh density requirements, using elements appropriate for the geometry and physics of a particular problem. We envision a system in which common types of physical problems have pre-defined mesh sizing and element aspect ratio functions, allowing easy generation of meshes for these applications areas. For flexibility and generality, the user will also be able to prescribe these functions (for totally different applications) or modify the pre-defined behaviors (to provide a quality mesh in the wake of an airplane wing, for example). GRUMMP Features The initial version of the GRUMMP libraries has been released, including executables for two- and three-dimensional mesh generation and improvement and for three-dimensional scattered data interpolation. - Two-dimensional and three-dimensional simplicial mesh generation - Automatic creation and use of geometric length scale based on input data - Mesh quality assessment using numerous geometric quality measures - Improvement of existing two- and three-dimensional meshes - Complete set of mesh manipulation primitives: + Local reconnection --- face swapping and edge removal (latter in 3D only) + Optimization-based vertex smoothing --- guaranteed better than Laplacian + Point insertion and/or deletion to match local length scale - Mesh generation and improvement use the same primitives and length scale calculation, providing uniform results from both processes - Flexible I/O format (available in 2D; soon to be available in 3D) The software is available in source form via ftp at ftp://tetra.mech.ubc.ca/pub/GRUMMP/GRUMMP-0.1.0.tar.gz For more information, including an online copy of the User Guide, visit the GRUMMP home page at http://tetra.mech.ubc.ca/GRUMMP/index.html or send email to the developer at cfog@mech.ubc.ca.

In this paper, generalizations of these techniques for irregularly structured sparse linear systems are considered. An interesting common approach used to derive successful preconditioners is to resort to Schur complements. In particular, we discuss a multi-level domain decomposition-type algorithm for iterative solution of large sparse linear systems based on independent subsets of nodes. We also discuss a Schur complement technique that utilizes incomplete LU factorizations of local matrices.
