Summary
We consider parallel and adaptive algorithms for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations discretized by an upwind type finite element method. Two parallelization concepts are used, a first one based on a static domain decomposition into macroelements and a second one based on a dynamic load balancing strategy. We investigate questions of the scalability up to the massive parallel case and the use of a posteriori error estimators. The arising discrete systems are solved by parallelized multigrid methods which are applied either directly to the coupled system or within a projection method.
