Efficient partitioning and reordering of conforming virtual element discretizations for large scale Discrete Fracture Network flow parallel solvers
Discrete Fracture Network models are largely used for very large scale geological flow simulations. For this reason numerical methods require an investigation of tools for efficient parallel solutions on High Performance Computing systems. In this paper we discuss and compare several partitioning and reordering strategies, that result to be highly efficient and scalable, overperforming the classical mesh partitioning approach used to partition a conforming mesh among several processes.
