Two preconditioners for saddle point problems in fluid flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper two preconditioners for the saddle point problem are analysed: one based on the augmented Lagrangian approach and another involving artificial compressibility. Eigenvalue analysis shows that with these preconditioners small condition numbers can be achieved for the preconditioned saddle point matrix. The preconditioners are compared with commonly used preconditioners from literature for the Stokes and Oseen equation and an ocean flow problem. The numerical results confirm the analysis: the preconditioners are a good alternative to existing ones in fluid flow problems. Copyright q 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Preprint Seria ILU preconditioners for non-symmetric saddle point matrices with application to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
Motivated by the numerical solution of the linearized incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, we study threshold incomplete LU factorizations for non-symmetric saddle point matrices. The resulting preconditioners are used to accelerate the convergence of a Krylov subspace method applied to finite element discretizations of fluid dynamics problems in three space dimensions.

We examine block-diagonal preconditioners and efficient variants of indefinite preconditioners for block two-by-two generalized saddle-point problems. We consider the general, nonsymmetric, nonsingular case. In particular, the (1,2) block need not equal the transposed (2,1) block. Our preconditioners arise from computationally efficient splittings of the (1,1) block. We provide analyses for the...
متن کاملUniform preconditioners for a parameter dependent saddle point problem with application to generalized Stokes interface equations
We consider an abstract parameter dependent saddle-point problem and present a general framework for analyzing robust Schur complement preconditioners. The abstract analysis is applied to a generalized Stokes problem, which yields robustness of the Cahouet-Chabard preconditioner. Motivated by models for two-phase incompressible flows we consider a generalized Stokes interface problem. Applicati...
