A New Multigrid Euler Method for Fighter-type Configurations
نویسنده
چکیده
Transonic and supersonic flows over isolated wings and fighter-type aircraft configurations are computed through the numerical solution of the compressible Euler equations. Appropriate singlemesh topologies are used in combination with a new multigrid time-stepping scheme for solving the Euler equations. C-H or C-0 meshes are used for the isolated wing. A novel H-0 type mesh is introduced to discretize the space about a fighter aircraft. The H-0 type mesh is obtained by a sequence of two-dimensional mappings which generate separate 0-meshes around successive cross sections of the aircraft. The finite volume method, which has proved quite insensitive to mesh topology, uses a five-stage Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme to integrate the equations. Acceleration to the steady state solution is obtained by maximizing the local time step, implicit smoothing of the residuals, enthalpy damping, and an efficient multigrid technique. Results are presented for a variety of wing and aircraft configurations.

A Domain-Decomposed Multilevel Method for Adaptively Refined Cartesian Grids with Embedded Boundaries
Preliminary verification and validation of an efficient Euler solver for adaptively refined Carte-sian meshes with embedded boundaries is presented. The parallel, multilevel method makes use of a new on-the-fly parallel domain decomposition strategy based upon the use of space-filling curves, and automatically generates a sequence of coarse meshes for processing by the multigrid smoother. The c...

In this paper, we consider the cascadic multigrid method for a parabolic type equation. Backward Euler approximation in time and linear finite element approximation in space are employed. A stability result is established under some conditions on the smoother. Using new and sharper estimates for the smoothers that reflect the precise dependence on the time step and the spatial mesh parameter, t...
