Immersed Finite Element Method For Interface Problems With Algebraic Multigrid Solver, Wenqiang Feng
Immersed Finite Element Method For Interface Problems With Algebraic Multigrid Solver, Wenqiang Feng
Masters Theses
"This thesis is to discuss the bilinear and 2D linear immersed finite element (IFE) solutions generated from the algebraic multigrid solver for both stationary and moving interface problems. In contrast to the body-fitting mesh restriction of the traditional finite element methods or finite difference methods for interface problems, a number of numerical methods based on structured meshes independent of the interface have been developed. When these methods are applied to the real world applications, we often need to solve the corresponding large scale linear systems many times, which demands efficient solvers. The algebraic multigrid (AMG) method is a natural choice …
