In this paper, we apply the constraint energy minimizing generalized multiscale finite element method (CEM-GMsFEM) to first solving a nonlinear poroelasticity problem. The arising system consists of a nonlinear pressure equation and a nonlinear stress equation in strain-limiting setting, where strains keep bounded while stresses can grow arbitrarily large. After time discretization of the system, to tackle the nonlinearity, we linearize the resulting equations by Picard iteration. To handle the linearized equations, we employ the CEM-GMsFEM and obtain appropriate offline multiscale basis functions for the pressure and the displacement. More specifically, first, auxiliary multiscale basis functions are generated by solving local spectral problems, via the GMsFEM. Then, multiscale spaces are constructed in oversampled regions, by solving a constraint energy minimizing (CEM) problem. After that, this strategy (with the CEM-GMsFEM) is also applied to a static case of the above nonlinear poroelasticity problem, that is, elasticity problem, where the residual based online multiscale basis functions are generated by an adaptive enrichment procedure, to further reduce the error. Convergence of the two cases is demonstrated by several numerical simulations, which give accurate solutions, with converging coarse-mesh sizes as well as few basis functions (degrees of freedom) and oversampling layers.

The dual continuum model serves as a powerful tool in the modeling of subsurface applications. It allows a systematic coupling of various components of the solutions. The system is of multiscale nature as it involves high heterogeneous and high contrast coefficients. To numerically compute the solutions, some types of reduced order methods are necessary. We will develop and analyze a novel multiscale method based on the recent advances in multiscale finite element methods. Our method will compute multiple local multiscale basis functions per coarse region. The idea is based on some local spectral problems, which are important to identify high contrast channels, and an energy minimization principle. Using these concepts, we show that the basis functions are localized, even in the presence of high contrast long channels and fractures. In addition, we show that the convergence of the method depends only on the coarse mesh size. Finally, we present several numerical tests to show the performance.
In this paper, we develop an iterative scheme to construct multiscale basis functions within the framework of the Constraint Energy Minimizing Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (CEM-GMsFEM) for the mixed formulation. The iterative procedure starts with the construction of an energy minimizing snapshot space that can be used for approximating the solution of the model problem. A spectral decomposition is then performed on the snapshot space to form global multiscale space. Under this setting, each global multiscale basis function can be split into a non-decaying and a decaying parts. The non-decaying part of a global basis is localized and it is fixed during the iteration. Then, one can approximate the decaying part via a modified Richardson scheme with an appropriately defined preconditioner. Using this set of iterative-based multiscale basis functions, first-order convergence with respect to the coarse mesh size can be shown if sufficiently many times of iterations with regularization parameter being in an appropriate range are performed. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed computational multiscale method.
Numerical simulation of flow problems and wave propagation in heterogeneous media has important applications in many engineering areas. However, numerical solutions on the fine grid are often prohibitively expensive, and multiscale model reduction techniques are introduced to efficiently solve for an accurate approximation on the coarse grid. In this paper, we propose an energy minimization based multiscale model reduction approach in the discontinuous Galerkin discretization setting. The main idea of the method is to extract the non-decaying component in the high conductivity regions by identifying dominant modes with small eigenvalues of local spectral problems, and define multiscale basis functions in coarse oversampled regions by constraint energy minimization problems. The multiscale basis functions are in general discontinuous on the coarse grid and coupled by interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin formulation. The minimal degree of freedom in representing high-contrast features is achieved through the design of local spectral problems, which provides the most compressed local multiscale space. We analyze the method for solving Darcy flow problem and show that the convergence is linear in coarse mesh size and independent of the contrast, provided that the oversampling size is appropriately chosen. Numerical results are presented to show the performance of the method for simulation on flow problem and wave propagation in high-contrast heterogeneous media.
In this work, we propose a local multiscale model reduction approach for the time-domain scalar wave equation in a heterogenous media. A fine mesh is used to capture the heterogeneities of the coefficient field, and the equation is solved globally on a coarse mesh in the discontinuous Galerkin discretization setting. The main idea of the model reduction approach is to extract dominant modes in local spectral problems for representation of important features, construct multiscale basis functions in coarse oversampled regions by constraint energy minimization problems, and perform a Petrov-Galerkin projection and a symmetrization onto the coarse grid. The method is expicit and energy conserving, and exhibits both coarse-mesh and spectral convergence, provided that the oversampling size is appropriately chosen. We study the stability and convergence of our method. We also present numerical results on the Marmousi model in order to test the performance of the method and verify the theoretical results.
In this paper, we consider an online enrichment procedure using the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) in the context of a two-phase flow model in heterogeneous porous media. The coefficient of the elliptic equation is referred to as the permeability and is the main source of heterogeneity within the model. The elliptic pressure equation is solved using online GMsFEM, and is coupled with a hyperbolic transport equation where local conservation of mass is necessary. To satisfy the conservation property, we aim at constructing conservative fluxes within the space of multiscale basis functions through the use of a postprocessing technique. In order to improve the accuracy of the pressure and velocity solutions in the online GMsFEM we apply a systematic online enrichment procedure. The increase in pressure accuracy due to the online construction is inherited by the conservative flux fields and the desired saturation solutions from the coupled transport equation. Despite the fact that the coefficient of the pressure equation is dependent on the saturation which may vary in time, we may construct an approximation space using the initial coefficient where no further basis updates follow. Numerical results corresponding to four different types of heterogeneous permeability coefficients are exhibited to test the proposed methodology.
