✦ Synopsis

The potential for using a network of workstations for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using a finite element formulation is investigated. A programming paradigm suitable for a heterogeneous distributed workstation cnvironrnent is developed and compared to the traditional paradigm employed for distributed memory parallel computers. In particular, the issues of load balancing and fault recovery are explored. Numerical results are presented for two computer configurations: ( 1 ) a homogeneous network of workstations and ( ) a heterogeneous network of workstations. The superiority of the developed paradigm over the traditional paradigm employed for distributed memory parallel computers is shown in cases where a heterogeneous network of workstations is employed or when one of the workstations of the cluster is loaded by other users.

Our work is an extension of the previously proposed multivariant element. We assign this re®ned element as a compact mixed-order element in the sense that use of this element offers a much smaller bandwidth. The analysis is implemented on quadratic hexahedral elements with a view to analysing a thre

## Abstract This paper proposes and investigates fully coupled control‐volume finite element method (CVFEM) for solving the two‐dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The proposed method borrows many of its features from the segregated CVFEM described by Baliga __et al.__ Thus finite‐v

The paper compares two dierent two-grid ®nite element formulations applied to the Navier±Stokes equations, namely a multigrid and a mixed or composite formulation. In the latter case the pressure is interpolated on a coarser grid than the velocity, using mixed elements instead of mixed interpolation
