The incorporation of the identity within indigenous worldviews, its manifestation in terms of (be)coming out, and the triple ...

We present a multilevel algorithm to compute steady states of lattice Boltzmann models directly as fixed points of a time-stepper. At the fine scale, we use a Richardson iteration for the fixed point equation, which amounts to time-stepping towards equilibrium. This fine-scale iteration is accelerated by transferring the error to a coarse level. At this coarse level, one directly solves for the...
