✦ Synopsis
The multigrid performance of pointwise, linewise and blockwise Gauss-Seidel relaxations for compressible laminar and turbulent Navier-Stokes equations is illustrated on two low-speed test problems: a flat plate and a backward facing step. The line method is an Alternating Symmetric Line Gauss-Seidel relaxation. In the block methods, the grid is subdivided into geometric blocks of n x n points with one point overlap. With in the blocks, the solution is obtained by a direct method or with an alternating modified incomplete lower-upper decomposition. The analysis is focused on flows typical for boundary layers, stagnation and recirculation regions. These are characterized by very small Mach numbers, high Reynolds numbers and high mesh aspect ratios.

Implicit time-integration techniques are envisioned to be the methods of choice for direct numerical simulations (DNS) for flows at high Reynolds numbers. Therefore, the computational efficiency of implicit flow solvers becomes critically important. The textbook multigrid efficiency (TME), which is
The compressible Navier-Stokes equations for viscous ows with general large continuous initial data, as well as with large discontinuous initial data, are studied. Both a homogeneous free boundary problem with zero outer pressure and a ÿxed boundary problem are considered. For the large initial data
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
