A parallel finite-volume spatial/angular agglomeration multigrid method for radiative heat transfer computation

Abstract: The development of a spatial/angular agglomeration multigrid methodology is reported for the acceleration of a parallel node-centered finite-volume algorithm, numerically predicting radiative heat transfer in tetrahedral or hybrid unstructured grids. For spatial agglomeration, a sequence of coarser meshes is constructed, by merging the adjacent control volumes on a topology-preserving framework. Similarly, for the angular agglomeration, coarser angular resolutions are generated with the fusion of the neighbour… Show more

“…To alleviate increased computational requirements especially in large-scale simulations a parallelization strategy was developed, based on the domain decomposition approach and the MPI library [Lyg12b,Lyg14a,Lyg15]. In addition, a spatial agglomeration multigrid methodology is incorporated, resulting in more acceleration of the solution procedure; it considers the implementation of FAS (included in FMG) on successively coarser spatial resolutions, derived from the initial finest grid through the fusion of adjacent control volumes in a way similar to advancing front technique [Lyg14b,Lyg14c,Lyg14d,Lyg14f]. In case of radiative heat transfer simulations, the aforementioned method is extended to an angular version, which considers coarsening of the angular resolution by the fusion of neighbouring solid control angles, along with the FAS employment in a corresponding to spatial scheme way.…”

“…In case of radiative heat transfer simulations, the aforementioned method is extended to an angular version, which considers coarsening of the angular resolution by the fusion of neighbouring solid control angles, along with the FAS employment in a corresponding to spatial scheme way. Furthermore, a combined (nested) spatial/angular agglomeration multigrid method is introduced, according to which a complete angular FAS cycle is accomplished at each level of the spatial multigrid scheme [Lyg14b,Lyg14f,Lyg14g]. Finally, the h-refinement technique is incorporated to enrich the desired regions (either automatically selected or user defined) of unstructured, tetrahedral or hybrid grids and consequently increase accuracy of the final steady-state solution at the same areas; it can be performed during the solution procedure, avoiding the generation of a new mesh from scratch [Lyg13b,Lyg13c].…”
