چکیده
This paper deals with preconditioners for the iterative solution of the discrete Oseen’s problem with variable viscosity. The motivation of this work originates from numerical simulations of multiphase flow, governed by the coupled Cahn-Hilliard and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The impact of variable viscosity on some known preconditioning technique is analyzed. Numerical experiments show that the preconditioning technique for the Oseen’s problem with constant viscosity is also efficient when the viscosity is varying.

On Preconditioning of Incompressible Non-newtonian Flow Problems
This paper deals with fast and reliable numerical solution methods for the incompressible non-Newtonian Navier-Stokes equations. To handle the nonlinearity of the governing equations, the Picard and Newton methods are used to linearize these coupled partial differential equations. For space discretization we use the nite element method and utilize the two-by-two block structure of the matrices ...
متن کاملA Stochastic Representation for Backward Incompressible Navier-stokes Equations
By reversing the time variable we derive a stochastic representation for backward incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in terms of stochastic Lagrangian paths, which is similar to Constantin and Iyer’s forward formulations in [6]. Using this representation, a self-contained proof of local existence of solutions in Sobolev spaces are provided for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the w...
متن کاملNumerical solution of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equation for variable density–variable viscosity. Part I
We consider methods for the numerical simulations of variable density incompressible fluids, modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations. Variable density problems arise, for instance, in interfaces between fluids of different densities in multiphase flows such as appearing in porous media problems. We show that by solving the Navier-Stokes equation for the momentum variable instead of the velocity...
