Abstract: Performance of physical-variable based coarsening two-level(PCTL) preconditioner is analyzed for typical linear systems discretizated from two-dimensional(2-D) radiative diffusion equations with photon,electron,ion temperatures(3-T).It reveals that performance of PCTL strongly depends on both coupling of three temperatures and diagonally dominance of three diagonal sub-matrices of coefficient matrix.An adaptive algorithm for sub linear systems in PCTL is proposed.Numerical results show efficiency and robustness of the method.For 37 2-D 3-T linear systems in simulations,PCTL based on the algorithm speeds up 2.5 times compared with classical algebraic multigrid (AMG) preconditioners.
