Preconditioning nonlocal multi-phase flow

We propose an efficient solver for saddle point problems arising from finite element approximations of nonlocal multi-phase Allen–Cahn variational inequalities. The solver is seen to behave mesh independently and to have only a very mild dependence on the number of phase field variables. In addition...

description We propose an efficient solver for saddle point problems arising from finite element approximations of nonlocal multi-phase Allen–Cahn variational inequalities. The solver is seen to behave mesh independently and to have only a very mild dependence on the number of phase field variables. In addition we prove convergence, in three GMRES iterations, of the approximation of the two phase problem, regardless of mesh size or interfacial width. Numerical results are presented that illustrate the competitiveness of this approach.
