Performance of Multiscale Finite Element Methods
In this research project, we aim to analyse and design a multiscale finite element solver for flow in porous media. The performance of the solver will then be compared against existing finite element software. The multiscale solver will couple local finite element solvers together via a coarse scale set of Lagrange multipliers enforcing continuity of moments. In order to accelerate the simulation, we will consider an off-line phase in which we will create a nonlinear map from the Lagrange multiplier to the coarse scale fluxes in terms of deep neural networks.
