Georgia Tech Accelerated, Compressed, and Regularized Compute of Kinetic-based PDEs (Final Report)

This report summarizes the collaborative effort between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Georgia Tech to enhance the BoBa library for tensor train computation in PDE solvers, with a target on kinetic equations and their continuum limits. We aimed to reduce computational cost and memory usage by replacing traditional array-based computations with tensor trains. We examined the compressibility of time-evolving solutions to the Euler equations with discontinuities. We also explored using the first invsicid and linear regularization of the compressible flow equations via the information geometric regularization (IGR). We explored this in a tensor train formulation. To identify that inverse terms in the IGR equations pose problems for tensor train formulations and investigate efficient methods for batched inversion of tensor trains.

Asynchronous numerical solution of PDEs on parallel computers

Asynchronous and partially-synchronous finite difference schemes are investigated for the one-dimensional steady-state and nonsteady-state heat equation, respectively. It is shown experimentally that the asynchronous scheme runs twice as fast as the parallel synchronous scheme. For relatively small values of time levels, however, the asynchronous scheme produces the least accurate results, while the partially-asynchronous scheme is almost as accurate as its synchronous counterpart.

High-Order Implicit-Explicit Multi-Block Time-stepping Method for Hyperbolic PDEs

This work seeks to explore and improve the current time-stepping schemes used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in order to reduce overall computational time. A high-order scheme has been developed using a combination of implicit and explicit (IMEX) time-stepping Runge-Kutta (RK) schemes which increases numerical stability with respect to the time step size, resulting in decreased computational time. The IMEX scheme alone does not yield the desired increase in numerical stability, but when used in conjunction with an overlapping partitioned (multi-block) domain significant increase in stability is observed. To show this, the Overlapping-Partition IMEX (OP IMEX) scheme is applied to both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) problems, the nonlinear viscous Burger's equation and 2D advection equation, respectively. The method uses two different summation by parts (SBP) derivative approximations, second-order and fourth-order accurate. The Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed using the Simultaneous Approximation Term (SAT) penalty method. The 6-stage additive Runge-Kutta IMEX time integration schemes are fourth-order accurate in time. An increase in numerical stability 65 times greater than the fully explicit scheme is demonstrated to be achievable with the OP IMEX method applied to 1D Burger's equation. Results from the 2D, purely convective, advection equation show stability increases on the order of 10 times the explicit scheme using the OP IMEX method. Also, the domain partitioning method in this work shows potential for breaking the computational domain into manageable sizes such that implicit solutions for full three-dimensional CFD simulations can be computed using direct solving methods rather than the standard iterative methods currently used.
