A mixed Galerkin technique with B-spline basis functions is presented to compute two-dimensional incompressible ¯ow in terms of the primitive variable formulation. To circumvent the Babuska±Brezzi stability criterion, the arti®cial compressibility formulation of the equation of mass conservation is

✦ Synopsis
To compute the time-dependent ¯ow of a rotating incompressible ¯uid we consider the velocity±vorticity formulation of the Navier±Stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates. In the numerical method employed the velocity ®eld at each time-step is found as the least squares solution of an overdetermined system of linear equations, ex . We consider how to compute x using the preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm for least squares (PCGLS) on a distributed parallel computer. The various aspects of using a parallel computer are discussed, and results for a wide range of parallel computers are presented. The parallel speedup depends on the architecture but is typically about 80% of the number of processors used.
