Abstract

When the artificial compressibility method in conjunction with high-order upwind compact finite difference schemes is employed to discretize the steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in each pseudo-time step we need to solve a structured system of linear equations approximately by, for example, a Krylov subspace method such as the preconditioned GMRES. In this paper, based on the special structure and concrete property of the linear system we construct a structured preconditioner for its coefficient matrix and estimate eigenvalue bounds of the correspondingly preconditioned matrix. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioning methods.
