Abstract
AbstractMixed finite element formulations of incompressible Navier–Stokes Equations leads to non‐positive definite algebraic systems inappropriate for iterative solution techniques. However, introducing a suitable preconditioner, the mixed finite element equation system becomes positive definite and solvable by iterative techniques. The present work suggests a priori pivoting sequences for parallel and serial implementations of incomplete Gaussian factorization. Tests are performed for the driven cavity problem in two and three dimensions. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
