چکیده

In this paper we introduce a Relaxed Dimensional Factorization (RDF) preconditioner for saddle point problems. Properties of the preconditioned matrix are analyzed and compared with those of the closely related Dimensional Splitting (DS) preconditioner recently introduced by Benzi and Guo [7]. Numerical results for a variety of finite element discretizations of both steady and unsteady incompressible flow problems indicate very good behavior of the RDF preconditioner with respect to both mesh size and viscosity. 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Parameter estimates for the Relaxed Dimensional Factorization preconditioner and application to hemodynamics

We present new results on the Relaxed Dimensional Factorization (RDF) preconditioner for solving saddle point problems from incompressible flow simulations, first introduced in [1]. This method contains a parameter α > 0, to be chosen by the user. Previous works provided an estimate of α in the 2D case using Local Fourier Analysis. Novel algebraic estimation techniques for finding a suitable va...

A Relaxed Splitting Preconditioner for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

A relaxed splitting preconditioner based on matrix splitting is introduced in this paper for linear systems of saddle point problem arising from numerical solution of the incompressible NavierStokes equations. Spectral analysis of the preconditioned matrix is presented, and numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the convergence behavior of the preconditioner for solving both steady...

Comparison of Two Types of Preconditioners for Stokes and Linearized Navier-Stokes Equations

To solve saddle point systems efficiently, several preconditioners have been published. There are many methods for constructing preconditioners for linear systems from saddle point problems, for instance, the relaxed dimensional factorization (RDF) preconditioner and the augmented Lagrangian (AL) preconditioner are used for both steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper we comp...

Evaluation of Preconditioned Krylov Subspace Methods for Navier-stokes Equations

The purpose of this work is to compare the performance of some preconditioned iterative methods for solving the linear systems of equations, formed at each time-integration step of two-dimensional incompressible NavierStokes equations of fluid flow. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized in an implicit and upwind control volume formulation. The iterative methods used in this paper include ...
