| contents | The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we test numerically the performance of mixed virtual elements in three dimensions for the first time in the literature to solve the mixed formulation of three-dimensional elliptic equations on polyhedral meshes. On the other hand, we focus on the parallel solution of the linear system arising from such discretization, considering both direct and iterative parallel solvers. In the latter case, we develop two block preconditioners, one based on the approximate Schur complement and one on a regularization technique. Both these topics are numerically validated by several parallel tests performed on a Linux cluster. More specifically, we show that the proposed VEM discretization recovers the expected theoretical convergence properties and we analize the performance of the direct and iterative parallel solvers taken into account. |
