Solution Techniques for Large-Scale Cfd Problems

This volume contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Solution Techniques for Large Scale CFD Problems, held in Montreal, Canada in September 1994. It addresses algorithms for architectures, convergence acceleration techniques and domain decomposition methods.
Current CFD problems of interest are typically of a large-scale nature, characterized by a size and complexity demanding the combined efforts of interdisciplinary teams from engineering, mathematics, computer science and physics. This book thus groups a prestigious cross-section of internationally known scientists invited to expound on the following themes:Algorithms for vector, parallel and virtual-parallel architecturesAlgorithms for massively parallel architecturesConvergence enhancement techniques, namely preconditioned interative methods for implicit or fully-coupled approachesConvergence enhancement techniques, such as defect correction, multigrid, formulation preconditioning and zonal methodsApplication of these techniques to large-scale CFD analysis and design.This book should prove equally valuable for CFD developers, practitioners and graduate students.
