EVIEW A RTICLE Preconditioners for Incompressible Navier - Stokes Solvers †
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we give an overview of the present state of fast solvers for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations discretized by the finite element method and linearized by Newton or Picard’s method. It is shown that block preconditioners form an excellent approach for the solution, however if the grids are not to fine preconditioning with a Saddle point ILU matrix (SILU) may be an attractive alternative. The applicability of all methods to stabilized elements is investigated. In case of the stand-alone Stokes equations special preconditioners increase the efficiency considerably.

Preconditioners for the Steady Incompressible Navier-Stokes Problem
In this paper we discuss preconditioners for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In combination with Krylov subspace methods, they give a fast convergence for the solution of the Navier -Stokes equations. With the help of numerical experiments, we report some new findings regarding the convergence of these preconditioners. Besides that, a renumbering scheme for direct solvers and ILU pr...

متن کاملA comparison of preconditioners for incompressible Navier-Stokes solvers
We consider solution methods for large systems of linear equations that arise from the finite element discretization of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. These systems are of the so-called saddle point type, which means that there is a large block of zeros on the main diagonal. To solve these types of systems efficiently, several block preconditioners have been published. These types ...

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have emerged as highly capable computational accelerators for scientific and engineering applications. Many reports claim orders of magnitude of speedup compared to traditional Central Processing Units (CPUs), and the interest for GPU computation is high in the computational world. In this thesis, the capability of using GPUs to accelerate the full computational...
