What is A Statically Condensed Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Method on Gauss-Lobatto Nodes for the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations about?

We present a static-condensation method for time-implicit discretizations of the Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Method on Gauss-Lobatto points (GL-DGSEM). We show that, when solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, it is possible to reorganize the linear system that results from the implicit time-integration of the GL-DGSEM as a Schur complement problem, which can be efficiently solved using static condensation. The use of static condensation reduces the linear system size and improves the condition number of the system matrix, which translates into shorter computational times when using direct and iterative solvers. The statically condensed GL-DGSEM presented here can be applied to linear and nonlinear advection-diffusion partial differential equations in conservation form. To test it we solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with direct and Krylov subspace solvers, and we show for a selected problem that using the statically condensed GL-DGSEM leads to speed-ups of up to $200$ when compared to the time-explicit GL-DGSEM, and speed-ups of up to three when compared with the time-implicit GL-DGSEM that solves the global system. The GL-DGSEM has gained incre
