Solving the linearized Navier–Stokes equations using semi-Toeplitz preconditioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
A semi-Toeplitz preconditioner for the linearized Navier– Stokes equation for compressible flow is proposed and tested. The preconditioner is applied to the linear system of equations to be solved in each time step of an implicit method. The equations are solved with flat plate boundary conditions and are linearized around the Blasius solution. The grids are stretched in the normal direction to the plate and the quotient between the time step and the space step is varied. The preconditioner works well in all tested cases and outperforms the method without preconditioning both in number of iterations and execution time.

Semi-Toeplitz Preconditioning for Linearized Boundary Layer Problems
We have defined and analyzed a semi-Toeplitz preconditioner for timedependent and steady-state convection-diffusion problems. Analytic expressions for the eigenvalues of the preconditioned systems are obtained. An asymptotic analysis shows that the eigenvalue spectrum of the timedependent problem is reduced to two eigenvalues when the number of grid points go to infinity. The numerical experime...
متن کاملOne-dimensional Preconditioning of Krylov Subspace Methods for the Navier{Stokes Equations
The stationary Navier{Stokes equations are solved in 2D with preconditioned Krylov subspace methods, where the preconditioning matrix is derived from a semi-implicit Runge{Kutta scheme. By this approach the spectrum of the coeecient matrix is improved. Numerical experiments for the ow over a semi-innnite at plate show that the preconditioning substantially improves the convergence rate. The num...
متن کاملAnalysis of Transient Behavior in Linear Differential Algebraic Equations
The linearized Navier-Stokes equations form a type of system called a differential algebraic equation (DAE). These equations impose both algebraic and differential constraints on the solution, and present significant challenges to solving. This paper discusses a method for solving DAEs by the Schur factorization to avoid some of the obstacles that are typically present. We also investigate the ...
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.
