Fast-Projection Methods for the Incompressible Navier–Stokes Equations

Modified augmented Lagrangian preconditioners for the incompressible NavierStokes equations

We study different variants of the augmented Lagrangian (AL)-based block-triangular preconditioner introduced by the first two authors in [SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 2006; 28: 2095–2113]. The preconditioners are used to accelerate the convergence of the Generalized Minimal Residual method (GMRES) applied to various finite element and Marker-and-Cell discretizations of the Oseen problem in two and thr...

Accuracy of Projection Methods for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

Numerous papers have appeared in the literature over the past thirty years discussing projection-type methods for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A recurring difficulty encountered is the proper choice of boundary conditions for the auxiliary variables in order to obtain at least second order accuracy in the computed solution. A further issue is the formula for the pressure ...

Velocity-Correction Projection Methods For Incompressible Flows

Lattice Boltzmann Model for the Incompressible NavierStokes Equation

In the last decade or so, the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method has emerged as a new and effective numerical technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).(1-5) Modeling of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is among many of its wide applications. Indeed, the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) was first proposed to simulate the incompressible NavierStokes equations.(1) The incompressible Nav...

Velocity-Correction Projection Methods for Incompressible Flows

We introduce and study a new class of projection methods—namely, the velocitycorrection methods in standard form and in rotational form—for solving the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. We show that the rotational form provides improved error estimates in terms of the H1-norm for the velocity and of the L2-norm for the pressure. We also show that the class of fractional-step meth...
