| contents | Porous media processes involve various physical phenomena such as mechanical deformation, transport, and fluid flow. Accurate simulations must capture the strong couplings between these phenomena. Choosing an efficient solver for the multiphysics problem usually entails the decoupling into subproblems related to separate physical phenomena. Then, the suitable solvers for each subproblem and the iteration scheme must be chosen. The wide range of options for the solver components makes finding the optimum difficult and time-consuming; moreover, solvers come with numerical parameters that need to be optimized. As a further complication, the solver performance may depend on the physical regime of the simulation model, which may vary with time. Switching a solver with respect to the dominant process can be beneficial, but the threshold of when to switch solver is unclear and complicated to analyze. We address this challenge by developing a machine learning framework that automatically searches for the optimal solver for a given multiphysics simulation setup, based on statistical data from previously solved problems. For a series of problems, exemplified by successive time steps in a time-dependent simulation, the framework updates and improves its decision model online during the simulation. We show how it outperforms preselected state-of-the-art solvers for test problem setups. The examples are based on simulations of poromechanics and simulations of flow and transport. For the quasi-static linear Biot model, we demonstrate automated tuning of numerical solver parameters by showing how the L-parameter of the so-called Fixed-Stress preconditioner can be optimized. Motivated by a test example where the main heat transfer mechanism changes between convection and diffusion, we discuss how the solver selector can dynamically switch solvers when the dominant physical phenomenon changes with time. |
