Abstract

A self-adaptive Uzawa block relaxation method was designed for Stokes problems under nonlinear slip boundary conditions. For the variational formulation of the problem, an auxiliary unknown was introduced to transform the problem into a saddle-point one based on an augmented Lagrangian function, which can be solved with the Uzawa block relaxation method. To improve the performance of the method, a self-adaptive rule was proposed with the proper penalty parameter chosen automatically. The main advantage of this method is that each iterative step consists of a linear problem while the auxiliary unknown can be computed explicitly. The convergence of the algorithm was analyzed. The numerical results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
