Abstract
Abstract We present an overlapping domain decomposition iterative solver for linear systems resulting from the discretization of compressible viscous flows with the Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method in three dimensions. It is a two-grid solver utilizing the solution on the auxiliary coarse grid and the standard block-Jacobi iteration on patches of elements defined by supports of the coarse mesh base shape functions. The simple iteration defined in this way is used as a preconditioner for the conjugate gradient procedure. Theoretical analysis indicates that the condition number of the preconditioned system should be independent of the actual finite element mesh and the auxiliary coarse mesh, provided that they are quasiuniform. Numerical tests confirm this result. Moreover, they show that presence of strongly flattened or elongated elements does not slow the convergence. The finite element mesh is subject to adaptivity, i.e. dividing the elements with large errors until a required accuracy is reached. The auxiliary coarse mesh is adjusting to the nonuniform actual mesh.
