Improved stability techniques for the solution of Navier-Stokes equations

Solution of the coupled Navier - Stokes equations

A selection of these reports is available in PostScript form at the Faculty's anonymous ftp-Abstract In this paper the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are discretized by the nite element method. After linearization large, sparse systems of linear equations have to be solved. A well known problem is the occurrence of zero elements on the main diagonal. We describe ordering techniques of t...

Optimization with the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations as constraints

In this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations is considered. The control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. A mixed numerical method involving a quasi-Newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes solver, to find the opt...

Efficient Solution Techniques for Discontinuous Galerkin Discretizations of the Navier-Stokes Equations on Hybrid Anisotropic Meshes

The goal of this paper is to investigate and develop fast and robust solution techniques for high-order accurate Discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of non-linear systems of conservation laws on unstructured meshes. Previous work was focused on the development of hp-multigrid techniques for inviscid flows and the current work concentrates on the extension of these solvers to steady-state vis...

Numerical Solution Techniques for the Steady Incompressible Navier-Stokes Problem

In this paper we discuss some recently published preconditioners for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In combination with Krylov subspace methods, they give a fast convergence for the solution of the Navier -Stokes equations. With the help of numerical experiments, we report some new findings regarding the convergence of these preconditioners. Besides that, a renumbering scheme for d...
