Abstract

In this paper, we present an iterative solver for Poisson equation. The approach is essentially oriented on upscaling the physical parameters of porous materials, such as electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, pressure field computation. The algorithm allows solving Poisson equation for strongly heterogeneous media with small-scale high-contrast heterogeneities. The solver is based on the Krylov-type iterative method with a pseudo-spectral preconditionner, thus the convergence rate is independent on the sample size, but sensitive to the contrast of physical properties in the model. GPU-based implementation of the algorithm allows performing simulations for the samples of the size \(400^3\) using a single GPU.

The research was supported by the Russian Science foundation grant no. 21-71-20003.
