This paper presents the application of the nonlinearity continuation method in the numerical solution of steady-state groundwater flow in variably saturated conditions. By solving a series of increasingly nonlinear problems using the Newton method, the system of nonlinear equations obtained from the finite volume discretization of steady-state Richards equation is addressed. A comparison is made with the pseudo-transient method on various test cases, including real site problems and parallel computations.
Application of nonlinearity continuation method to numerical solution of steady-state groundwater flow in variably saturated conditions is presented. In order to solve the system of nonlinear equations obtained by finite volume discretization of steady-state Richards equation, a series of problems with increasing nonlinearity are solved using the Newton method. This approach is compared to pseudo-transient method on several test cases, including real site problems and involving parallel computations. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
