โฆ Synopsis
A fourth-order compact finite difference scheme and a multigrid method are employed to solve the two-dimensional convection diffusion equations with boundary layers. The computational domain is first discretized on a nonuniform (stretched) grid to resolve the boundary layers. A grid transformation technique is used to map the nonuniform grid to a uniform one. The fourth-order compact scheme is applied to the transformed uniform grid. A multigrid method is used to solve the resulting linear system. Numerical experiments are used to show that a graded mesh and a grid transformation are necessary to compute high accuracy solutions for the convection diffusion problems with boundary layers and dicretized by the fourth-order compact scheme.

We present a new strategy to accelerate the convergence rate of a high-accuracy multigrid method for the numerical solution of the convection-diffusion equation at the high Reynolds number limit. We propose a scaled residual injection operator with a scaling factor proportional to the magnitude of t
