We present a scalable block preconditioning strategy for the trace system coming from the high-order hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) discretization of incompressible resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We construct the block preconditioner with a least squares commutator (BFBT) approximation for the inverse of the Schur complement that segregates out the pressure unknowns of the trace system. The remaining velocity, magnetic field, and Lagrange multiplier unknowns form a coupled nodal unknown block (the upper block), for which a system algebraic multigrid (AMG) is used for the approximate inverse. The complexity of the MHD equations together with the algebraic nature of the statically condensed HDG trace system makes the choice of smoother in the system AMG part critical for the convergence and performance of the block preconditioner. Our numerical experiments show GMRES preconditioned by ILU(0) of overlap zero as a smoother inside system AMG performs best in terms of robustness, time per nonlinear iteration and memory requirements. With several transient test cases in 2D and 3D including the island coalescence problem at high Lundquist number we demonstrate the robustness and parallel scalability of the block preconditioner. Additionally for the upper block a preliminary study of an alternate nodal block system solver based on a multilevel approximate nested dissection is presented. On a 2D island coalescence problem the multilevel approximate nested dissection preconditioner shows better scalability with respect to mesh refinement than the system AMG, but is relatively less robust with respect to Lundquist number scaling.

We develop a novel iterative solution method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with boundary conditions coupled with reduced models. The iterative algorithm is designed based on the variational multiscale formulation and the generalized-
$alpha$ scheme. The spatiotemporal discretization leads to a block structure of the resulting consistent tangent matrix in the Newton-Raphson procedure. As a generalization of the conventional block preconditioners, a three-level nested block preconditioner is introduced to attain a better representation of the Schur complement, which plays a key role in the overall algorithm robustness and efficiency. This approach provides a flexible, algorithmic way to handle the Schur complement for problems involving multiscale and multiphysics coupling. The solution method is implemented and benchmarked against experimental data from the nozzle challenge problem issued by the US Food and Drug Administration. The robustness, efficiency, and parallel scalability of the proposed technique are then examined in several settings, including moderately high Reynolds number flows and physiological flows with strong resistance effect due to coupled downstream vasculature models. Two patient-specific hemodynamic simulations, covering systemic and pulmonary flows, are performed to further corroborate the efficacy of the proposed methodology.
The trace of a matrix function f(A), most notably of the matrix inverse, can be estimated stochastically using samples< x,f(A)x> if the components of the random vectors x obey an appropriate probability distribution. However such a Monte-Carlo sampli
ng suffers from the fact that the accuracy depends quadratically of the samples to use, thus making higher precision estimation very costly. In this paper we suggest and investigate a multilevel Monte-Carlo approach which uses a multigrid hierarchy to stochastically estimate the trace. This results in a substantial reduction of the variance, so that higher precision can be obtained at much less effort. We illustrate this for the trace of the inverse using three different classes of matrices.
We build a multi-element variant of the smoothness increasing accuracy conserving (SIAC) shock capturing technique proposed for single element spectral methods by Wissink et al. (B.W. Wissink, G.B. Jacobs, J.K. Ryan, W.S. Don, and E.T.A. van der Weid
e. Shock regularization with smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving Dirac-delta polynomial kernels. Journal of Scientific Computing, 77:579--596, 2018). In particular, the baseline scheme of our method is the nodal discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method (DGSEM) for approximating the solution of systems of conservation laws. It is well known that high-order methods generate spurious oscillations near discontinuities which can develop in the solution for nonlinear problems, even when the initial data is smooth. We propose a novel multi-element SIAC filtering technique applied to the DGSEM as a shock capturing method. We design the SIAC filtering such that the numerical scheme remains high-order accurate and that the shock capturing is applied adaptively throughout the domain. The shock capturing method is derived for general systems of conservation laws. We apply the novel SIAC filter to the two-dimensional Euler and ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations to several standard test problems with a variety of boundary conditions.
This paper proposes an interface/boundary-unfitted eXtended hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) method for Darcy-Stokes-Brinkman interface problems in two and three dimensions. The method uses piecewise linear polynomials for the velocity app
roximation and piecewise constants for both the velocity gradient and pressure approximations in the interior of elements inside the subdomains separated by the interface, uses piecewise constants for the numerical traces of velocity on the inter-element boundaries inside the subdomains, and uses piecewise constants or linear polynomials for the numerical traces of velocity on the interface. Optimal error estimates are derived for the interface-unfitted X-HDG scheme. Numerical experiments are provided to verify the theoretical results and the robustness of the proposed method.
The discretization of certain integral equations, e.g., the first-kind Fredholm equation of Laplaces equation, leads to symmetric positive-definite linear systems, where the coefficient matrix is dense and often ill-conditioned. We introduce a new pr
econditioner based on a novel overlapping domain decomposition that can be combined efficiently with fast direct solvers. Empirically, we observe that the condition number of the preconditioned system is $O(1)$, independent of the problem size. Our domain decomposition is designed so that we can construct approximate factorizations of the subproblems efficiently. In particular, we apply the recursive skeletonization algorithm to subproblems associated with every subdomain. We present numerical results on problem sizes up to $16,384^2$ in 2D and $256^3$ in 3D, which were solved in less than 16 hours and three hours, respectively, on an Intel Xeon Platinum 8280M.
