Automatic tuning of iterative pseudo-transient solvers for modeling the deformation of heterogeneous media
Published in Geoscientific Model Development, 2026
- Automatic and adaptive tuning of parameters for iterative solvers based on Dynamic Relaxation (DR) or Pseudo-Transient schemes
- Ensures rapid and robust convergence for finite-difference and face-centered finite volume methods
- Examples for stokes flow, hydro-mechanical coupling, visco-elasto-viscoplastic shear banding and subduction
