From 2ddf43cf0fe45e96c4d0d32dd65ad4da2e112d5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Le Houx Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 07:47:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/39] mlmg: migrate from MLABecLaplacian to MLEBABecLap (EB-aware) (#289) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace the alpha*a row-pinning approach for inactive cells with AMReX's embedded-boundary framework. Non-percolating phase-target islands are now encoded as a "body" region via an implicit function (ActiveMaskIF) that samples the precomputed active mask at each query point. AMReX builds EB metadata (volume fractions, face apertures, boundary centroids) from the IF and coarsens them geometrically across MG levels — recovering the MG convergence rate that the alpha*a pin destroyed. Key changes to solve(): 1. Gather global active mask → host vector → device-accessible buffer. EB2::Build needs a globally-addressable IF; the mask is replicated to every MPI rank (fine for notebook-scale, documented as single- node limitation). 2. EB2::Build(ActiveMaskIF, geom, ...) → IndexSpace → EBFArrayBoxFactory. 3. MLEBABecLap replaces MLABecLaplacian. setScalars(0,1) — pure Laplacian, no a-coefficient pin. EB default BC on the body surface is no-flux Neumann, matching the physics (no transport into solid). 4. EB-aware MultiFabs for solution, RHS, acoef, bcoefs (allocated with the factory). Local sol_eb is copied back into base-class m_mf_solution for globalFluxes(). 5. EB2::IndexSpace::pop() at end of solve() to avoid leaking metadata across successive calls. 6. eps restored to 1e-11 (from workaround 1e-7) and maxiter to 200 (from workaround 400), since EB-aware coarsening should recover ~10x reduction per V-cycle. Binding defaults updated to match. 7. mlmg.setThrowException(true) retained — non-convergence throws std::runtime_error rather than calling amrex::Abort/SIGABRT.

Fill domain-boundary ghost cells of m_mf_diff_coeff before computing face B-coefficients. buildDiffusionCoeffField reads phase ghosts via growntilebox(), but non-periodic domain ghosts of the phase iMultiFab are uninitialized (from_numpy's FillBoundary only fills periodic and internal ghosts). MLABecLaplacian silently overrides user B at boundary faces with its internal stencil, so the old code worked by accident. MLEBABecLap uses user B directly, so garbage ghost D → harmonic_mean(garbage, D_inner) → B≈0 at inlet/outlet → solve converges to phi=const → zero flux → boundary flux check fails.

But the EB framework ALSO zeros those faces via aperture=0. MLEBABecLap's EB stencil divides by vfrac for cut cells: with both B=0 (from our harmonic mean) AND aperture=0 (from EB geometry), the stencil computation likely does 0*0/vfrac which for small vfrac cut cells produces NaN. The NaN then propagates through the V-cycle prolongation to all regular cells. Fix: set B=1.0 everywhere and rely solely on the EB apertures for active/inactive decoupling. This is the intended EB workflow — the user provides the BULK diffusivity field, and the EB geometry handles the masking. No harmonic-mean computation needed, no ghost-fill of m_mf_diff_coeff needed. Also removes the domain-boundary ghost fill for m_mf_diff_coeff (now unnecessary since B doesn't read from m_mf_diff_coeff). --- src/props/TortuosityMLMG.cpp | 241 ++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 97 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/props/TortuosityMLMG.cpp b/src/props/TortuosityMLMG.cpp index 718798f..8f27dfb 100644 --- a/src/props/TortuosityMLMG.cpp +++ b/src/props/TortuosityMLMG.cpp @@ -357,170 +357,123 @@ bool TortuosityMLMG::solve() { // Step 5: B-coefficients — face-centred harmonic mean of D. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // No mask-driven zeroing: the EB factory carries the apertures, so - // active/inactive interface faces get aperture=0 automatically and - // the B value there is irrelevant. - // - // m_mf_diff_coeff's domain-boundary ghost cells are uninitialized - // (buildDiffusionCoeffField reads phase ghosts that from_numpy's - // FillBoundary doesn't fill for non-periodic dirs).

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit All debug prints removed from TortuosityMLMG.cpp and TortuositySolverBase.cpp now that the EB pipeline is working: - ActiveMaskIF returns correct values - EB build classifies cells correctly (288 regular, 3433 cut, 29047 covered) - B=1 with EB apertures produces finite solutions - Channel test passes with correct tau Remove WILL_FAIL from tTortuosityMLMG_channel — it now passes. The root cause chain was: 1. Harmonic-mean B-coefficients zeroed B at channel/solid faces 2. EB apertures ALSO zero those faces 3. MLEBABecLap's cut-cell stencil divided by vfrac with both B=0 and aperture=0 → NaN propagated through the V-cycle 4.

Fix: modify the IF so that any vertex adjacent to an active cell returns fluid. This guarantees all active cells have all-fluid vertices → vfrac=1 (fully regular). Cut cells exist only on the inactive (solid) side where globalFluxes doesn't read them. Since the active subdomain is now entirely regular cells, the MLMG EB stencil is identical to the standard non-EB Laplacian for those cells. Flux conservation should be exact to solver tolerance, matching HYPRE's precision.
