Multigrid and Defect Correction for the Steady Navier-Stokes Equations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics ((NNFM,volume 23))

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental convergence results are presented for multigrid and iterative defect correction applied to finite volume discretizations of the steady, 2D, compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Iterative defect correction is introduced for circumventing the difficulty in finding a soiution of discretized equations with a second- or higher-order accurate convective pari As a smoothing -echnique, use is made of point Gauss-Seidel relaxation with inside the latter, Newton iteration as a basic Solution method. The multigrid echnique appears to be very efficient for smooth as well as non-smooth problems. Iterative defect correction appears to be very efficient for smooth problems only, though still reasonably efficient for non-smooth Problems.
