Abstract
A fourth-order compact difference discretization scheme with unequal meshsizes in different coordinate directions is employed to solve a three-dimensional (3D) Poisson equation on a cubic domain. Two multgrid methods are developed to solve the resulting sparse linear systems. One is to use the full-coarsening multigrid method with plane Gauss–Seidel relaxation, which uses line Gauss–Seidel relaxation to compute each planewise solution. The other is to construct a partial semi-coarsening multigrid method with the traditional point or plane Gauss–Seidel relaxations. Numerical experiments are conducted to test the computed accuracy of the fourth-order compact difference scheme and the computational efficiency of the multigrid methods with the fourth-order compact difference scheme.
