โœฆ Synopsis

A multigrid solver for the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a curvilinear grid is constructed. The Cartesian velocity components are used in the discretization of the momentum equations. A staggered, geometrically symmetric distribution of velocity components is adopted which eliminates spurious pressure oscillations and facilitates the transformation between Cartesian and co-or contravariant velocity components. The SCGS (symmetrical collective Gauss-Seidel) relaxation scheme proposed toy Vanka on a Cartesian grid is extended to this case to serve as the smoothing procedure of the multigrid solver, in both "box" and "box-line" versions. Due to the symmetric distribution of velocity components of this scheme, the convergence rate and numerical accuracy are not affected by grid orientation, in contrast to a scheme proposed in the literature in which difficulties arise when the grid lines turn (90^{\circ}) from the Cartesian coordinates. Some preliminary numerical experiences with this scheme are presented. (C) 1994 Acadernic Press. Inc.

The solution of large sets of equations is required when discrete methods are used to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems. Although the cost of the solution is often a drawback when the number of equations in the set becomes large, higher order numerical methods can be employed in the discre

In this note we continue our investigation [1] of multigrid methods as preconditioners to a Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov method [2,3]. We consider two different options for the formation of the coarse grid operators required in the multigrid preconditioner. The first option (Method 1) involves restri

Incompressible unsteady Navier-Stokes equations in pressure -velocity variables are considered. By use of the implicit and semi-implicit schemes presented the resulting system of linear equations can be solved by a robust and efficient iterative method. This iterative solver is constructed for the s
