Compressible viscous flow simulation by multigrid methods. (English) Zbl 0687.76073

The ‘local’ multigrid scheme is used to calculate some standard aerodynamic test cases in two-dimensions modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations of compressible flow. Although the governing equations are unstationary, time integration of the semi-discrete models tends asymptotically to the stationary solutions of the system. The multigrid strategy can thus be adapted to these pseudo-unstationary problems via a combination of a time-stepping scheme along with a suitable smoother (‘solver’) for the discrete model over the different grids. Since time steps are proportional to mesh size, time stepping plus multigriding should accelerate convergence: one multigrid cycle represents several equivalent fine grid time-steps in an ordinary iterative context.
