Abstract

We present a constrained pressure residual (CPR) two-stage preconditioner applied to a discontinuous Galerkin discretization of a two-phase flow in strongly heterogeneous porous media. We consider a fully implicit, locally conservative, higher order discretization on adaptively generated meshes. The implementation is based on the open-source PDE software framework Dune and its PETSc binding.
