Abstract

The full adaptive multigrid method is based on the tri-tree grid generator. The solution of the Navier–Stokes equations is first found for a low Reynolds number. The velocity boundary conditions are then increased and the grid is adapted to the scaled solution. The scaled solution is then used as a start vector for the multigrid iterations. During the multigrid iterations the grid is first recoarsed a specified number of grid levels. The solution of the Navier–Stokes equations with the multigrid residual as right-hand side is smoothed in a fixed number of Newton iterations. The linear equation system in the Newton algorithm is solved iteratively by CGSTAB preconditioned by ILU factorization with coupled node fill-in. The full adaptive multigrid algorithm is demonstr ated for cavity flow. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Int. j. numer. methods fluids 24: 1037ndash;1047, 1997.
