The effective conductivity of random checkerboards
(2011) In Journal of Computational Physics 230(4). p.1171-1181- Abstract
- An algorithm is presented for the fast and accurate solution of the electrostatic equation on multi-component random checkerboards. It relies on a particular choice of integral equation, extended as to separate ill-conditioning due to singular fields in corners from ill-conditioning due to interaction of clusters of well-conducting squares at large distances. Two separate preconditioners take care of the two separate phenomena. In a series of numerical examples, effective conductivities are computed for random checkerboards containing up to 10^4 squares with conductivity ratios of up to 10^6. The achievable relative precision in these examples is on the order of 10^{−11}.
