Abstract

Numerical simulation of complex flows involving unsteady structures, boundary layers or free surfaces on a unique grid is very greedy in time and CPU because a great number of calculation point is needed to ensure a satisfactory description of the different scales of the problem. An original local multigrid method, able to refine the grid at the cell scale, is proposed to solve the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The results obtained for the natural convection in a square cavity are compared to the one of the literature for Rayleigh numbers in the range 10 5–10 8.
