Textbook Multigrid Efficiency for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations: High Reynolds Number Wakes and Boundary Layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Textbook multigrid efficiencies for high Reynolds number simulations based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are attained for a model problem of flow past a finite flat plate. Elements of the Full Approximation Scheme multigrid algorithm, including distributed relaxation, defect correction, and boundary treatment, are presented for the three main physical aspects encountered: entering flow, wake flow, and boundary layer flow. Textbook efficiencies, i.e., reduction of algebraic errors below discretization errors in one full multigrid cycle, are attained for second order accurate simulations at a laminar Reynolds number of 10,000.

AIAA 99-3334 Distributed Relaxation Multigrid and Defect Correction Applied to the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations
The distributed-relaxation multigrid and defectcorrection methods are applied to the twodimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

A staggeredgrid arrangement of variables is used; the coupled pressure and internal energy equations are solved togethe...
متن کاملRobust Multigrid Algorithms for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations
Anisotropies occur naturally in CFD where the simulation of small scale physical phenomena, such as boundary layers at high Reynolds numbers, causes the grid to be highly stretched leading to a slow down in convergence of multigrid methods. Several approaches aimed at making multigrid a robust solver have been proposed and analyzed in literature using the scalar diffusion equation. However, the...

A fourth-order accurate finite-difference compact numerical scheme coupled with a geometric MultiGrid technique is introduced for an efficient incompressible NavierStokes solver on staggered meshes. Incompressibility condition is enforced iteratively by solving a Poisson-type equation performing global pressure correction. Its application is the most computationally demanding part of the algori...
متن کاملA multigrid smoother for high Reynolds number ows
The linearized Navier-Stokes equations are solved in 2D using a multigrid method where a semi-implicit Runge-Kutta scheme is the smoother. With this smoother the stiiness of the equations due to the disparate scales in the boundary layer is removed and Reynolds number independent convergence is obtained.
متن کاملAn accurate and efficient method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the projection method as a preconditioner
The projection method is a widely used fractional-step algorithm for solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Despite numerous improvements to the methodology, however, imposing physical boundary conditions with projection-based fluid solvers remains difficult, and obtaining high-order accuracy may not be possible for some choices of boundary conditions. In this work, we present an u...
