ABSTRACT

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is widely used to efficiently resolve localized features in time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) by selectively refining and coarsening the mesh. However, in long-horizon simulations, repeated intergrid interpolations can introduce systematic drift in conserved quantities, especially for variational discretizations with continuous basis functions. While interpolation from parent-to-child during refinement in continuous Galerkin (CG) discretizations is naturally conservative, the standard injection-based child-to-parent coarsening interpolation is generally not. We propose a simple, scalable field-conserving coarsening operator for parallel, octree-based AMR. The method enforces discrete global conservation during coarsening by first computing field conserving coarse-element values at quadrature points and then recovering coarse nodal degrees of freedom via an $L^2$ projection (mass-matrix solve), which simultaneously controls the $L_2$ error. We evaluate the approach on mass-conserving phase-field models, including the Cahn--Hilliard and Cahn--Hilliard--Navier--Stokes systems, and compare against injection in terms of conservation error, solution quality, and computational cost.

研究动机与目标

  • 在使用AMR进行长时多物理场模拟中推动质量守恒。
  • 开发一种保守的粗化算子,确保在AMR循环中实现离散层全局守恒。
  • 提供与八叉树网格上的CG离散化兼容的可扩展算法。
  • 在相场模型如CH和CHNS上展示守恒性与精度的提升。

提出的方法

  • 通过先在粗元素积分点强制守恒来实现字段守恒的粗化,然后通过L2投影(质量矩阵求解)在粗节点自由度上恢复。
  • 要求细化(父到子)为守恒,粗化(子到父)使用对粗网格的局部L2投影,以在每个粗元素上保持全局积分。
  • 构造一个限制算子,将细小单元高斯点值通过局部L2投影映射到粗单元高斯点值,在标准高斯-勒让德设置下得到对角(或易于求逆的)质量矩阵。
  • 通过对粗点数据在粗有限元空间上进行全局L2投影求解(M G = b),汇聚粗节点值,确保质量守恒。
  • 将该方法扩展到任意多项式阶次(Pp/Qp)和多维,通过1D限制算子的张量积,以及对二维/三维的Kronecker结构扩展。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1如何在八叉树AMR的CG中实现质量守恒而不牺牲精度?
  • RQ2与基于注入的粗化相比,提出的保守粗化方案是否减少质量漂移并在长时积分中保持守恒性?
  • RQ3保守粗化对相场PDE的收敛性和计算成本有何影响?
  • RQ4该方法是否可扩展到单级AMR更新的 massively parallel 高分辨率仿真?

主要发现

  • 保守粗化在AMR循环中将全局积分(质量)保持到数值精度。
  • 在MMS扩散测试中,保守方案保持最优收敛率(线性≈2,二次≈3),在线性情形的误差略低于注入法。
  • 在质量漂移测试中,保守方案在每次粗化步骤即可消除漂移,而注入法在网格更细时才略有改善的漂移。
  • 在保守粗化下,二次和一次基函数的精度表现相近或有所提升,误差幅度差异较小。
  • 该方法在CH和CHNS型模型上得到演示,突出在长时相场仿真中的质量守恒优势。
