We develop a Lions domain decomposition algorithm based on a cell functional
minimization scheme on non-matching multi-block grids for nonlinear radiation
diffusion equations, which are described by the coupled radiation diffusion
equations of electron, ion and photon temperatures. The
L2 orthogonal projection is applied in the Robin
transmission condition of non-matching surfaces. Numerical results show that the
algorithm keeps the optimal accuracy on the whole computational domain, is
robust enough on distorted meshes and curved surfaces, and the convergence rate
does not depend on Robin coefficients. It is a practical and attractive
algorithm in applying to the two-dimensional three-temperature energy equations
of Z-pinch implosion simulation.
