More Steady Mesh PDE Moving DD method - multiple domains (June 26, 2008)

Below I have included a couple more movies showing the 3 domain solution. I now have this code working for an abitrary number of subdomains. The link on the left show the individual MMPDE solutions on each domain (top row) and the mesh lines defining the moving subdomains (second row). I have highlighted in black the boundaries of the moving subdomains. The movie on the right glues together the subdomain solves to show convergence to the one domain solution - visible initially in light gray. These movies are from the Jacobi version. The 2 domain movies below are actually the Gauss Seidel version. I still need to assess the importance of the interpolation of the boundary conditions - currently I just use the 25 output times (in time) to generate the boundary data.

I have also altered the first iteration - initially I fixed the subdomain boundaries (in physical space) but now I allow the interior boundaries to move during the first iteration. I achieved this by basically writing down the MMPDE for the boundary nodes and discretizing back in the domain rather than use centered differences.

Steady Mesh PDE - new moving domain solution (June 19, 2008)

DD is done is computational space resulting in moving domains in physical space. The computations are done with a specified physical solution u so that the solver only solves the mesh pde with DD approach. The bottom plots glues the left and right domain solutions together. In the first couple of iterations you can see the one domain mesh solution x(\xi,t) which is made transperant so that the subdomain solutions show through. The infinity norm error (over all \xi and t) is included in the title of the bottomplot.

The mesh trajectories for the left and right subdomains are shown in the 2nd row of plots. You can see that the subdomains (in physical space) are moving in time, however after the first couple of Schwarz iterations the mesh has essentially converged so the movement of the subdomain boundaries is small.

Moving domains!
