Abstract
The results of a Fourier stability analysis of the preconditioned variational multiscale stabilization (P-VMS) method introduced in Moragues et al. (2015) are presented in this paper. P-VMS combines a variational multiscale stabilized finite elements discretization together with local preconditioning. In this work, we deal with the P-VMS method using van Leer–Lee–Roe’s (vanLeer et al., 1991) and Choi–Merkle’s (Choi and Merkle, 1993) local preconditioners. We solve the Euler equations of compressible flow for steady problems. We concentrate on explicit time integration schemes. The stability analysis is performed on a two dimensional simplified problem with a structured mesh and its conclusions are applied to two and three dimensional general problems with unstructured meshes. As a result of this analysis a local Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy number is defined for the computation of the time step. The convergence rate is evaluated, and compared with the traditional constant Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy number for various test cases spanning a large range of Mach numbers.
