contents In this paper, we construct and analyze a block dual-primal preconditioner for Biot's consolidation model approximated by three-field mixed finite elements based on a displacement, pressure, and total pressure formulation. The domain is decomposed into nonoverlapping subdomains, and the continuity of the displacement component across the subdomain interface is enforced by introducing a Lagrange multiplier. After eliminating all displacement variables and the independent subdomain interior components of pressure and total pressure, the problem is reduced to a symmetric positive definite linear system for the subdomain interface pressure, total pressure, and the Lagrange multiplier. This reduced system is solved by a preconditioned conjugate gradient method, with a block dual-primal preconditioner using a Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) preconditioner for both the interface total pressure block and the interface pressure blocks, as well as a Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting-Dual Primal (FETI-DP) preconditioner for the Lagrange multiplier block. By analyzing the conditioning of the preconditioned subsystem associated with the interface pressure and total pressure components, we obtain a condition number bound of the preconditioned system, which is scalable in the number of subdomains, poly-logarithmic in the ratio of subdomain and mesh sizes, and robust with respect to the parameters of the model. Extensive numerical experiments confirm the theoretical result of the proposed algorithm.
