An adaptive preconditioner for steady incompressible flows
arXiv:1604.04532 · doi:10.4208/cicp.OA-2016-0201
Abstract
This paper describes an adaptive preconditioner for numerical continuation of incompressible Navier--Stokes flows. The preconditioner maps the identity (no preconditioner) to the Stokes preconditioner (preconditioning by Laplacian) through a continuous parameter and is built on a first order Euler time-discretization scheme. The preconditioner is tested onto two fluid configurations: three-dimensional doubly diffusive convection and a reduced model of shear flows. In the former case, Stokes preconditioning works but a mixed preconditioner is preferred. In the latter case, the system of equation is split and solved simultaneously using two different preconditioners, one of which is parameter dependent. Due to the nature of these applications, this preconditioner is expected to help a wide range of studies.
