Solution Techniques for Large-scale CFD Problems

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.
