DDNS2

Participant : Caterina Calgaro [correspondant] .

The DDNS2 code is a parallel solver for unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes flows in 2D geometries and primitive variables written in Fortran 95 with MPI as a message-passage library. Mixed finite element methods, with hierarchical basis, are used to discretize the equations and a non overlapping domain decomposition approach leads to an interface problem which involves a Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the velocity (the FETI approach). A dynamical multilevel method is developed locally on each subdomain. Several numerical estimates on the evolution of linear and nonlinear terms allow to construct the multilevel strategy which produces auto-adaptive cycles in time during which different mesh sizes, one for each subdomain, can be considered.

Here is the self-assessment of the team effort following the grid provided by Inria (see : http://www.inria.fr/institut/organisation/instances/commission-d-evaluation ): A1, SO3, SM1, EM1, SDL1, DA1, CD4, MS4, TMP1.
