7.1.3.1 Data distribution
Let us denote by
the nodes of the velocity and
by
those nodes belonging to the pressure.
We will use the following elements in the discretization :
| (a) |
| non-conform [P , P ] element |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| (b) |
| conform (in ) [P +bubble, P ] MINI-element |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| (c) |
| conform (in ) [Q , Q ] element,
pressure components are located in the center of a macro element |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
The non-overlapping element distribution from section 4.3.1
seems to be best suited for the sake of parallelization.
In case of element type (c) one should distribute the macro elements.
All matrices in (7.4) are calculated element-wise so
that the distributed storing of them is obvious, i.e.,
and similar
,
,
(and even the vector
).
These matrices are calculated and stored in the subdomains so that
normally there will be no communication in the matrix generation.
The only exception may occur in the calculation of
the convection matrix
if upwind-schemes of order higher than 1 are
used.

Here, the necessary knowledge of the velocity components of others
than next neighbor elements requires a preparing communication step.
