Abstract:
Efficient methods are proposed to solve the non-linear incompressible
Navier-Stokes/Euler coupled equations.
Based on a new global variational formulation, the coupled problem gives
rise to a global saddle problem. Classical Uzawa algorithm decouples the
original saddle problem into two positive definite symmetric systems.
It is shown that, provided appropriate preconditioner is chosen for the pressure
system, the nested conjugate gradient methods can be applied to obtain rapid
convergence rate.
An iteration-by-subdomain method has also been investigated. The convergences
are proven both in the differential case and in their spectral collocation
counterpart. Detailed analysis shows that the iterative algorithms converge
with a rate independent of the polynomial degree. A validation study is carried
out by simulating the flow past a cylinder.
