Robust preconditioners for perturbed saddle-point problems and conservative discretizations of Biot’S equations utilizing total pressure. (English) Zbl 07379628
Summary: We develop robust solvers for a class of perturbed saddle-point problems arising in the study of a second-order elliptic equation in mixed form (in terms of flux and potential), and of the four-field formulation of Biot’s consolidation problem for linear poroelasticity (using displacement, filtration flux, total pressure, and fluid pressure). The stability of the continuous variational mixed problems, which hinges upon using adequately weighted spaces, is addressed in detail; and the efficacy of the proposed preconditioners, as well as their robustness with respect to relevant material properties, is demonstrated through several numerical experiments.
