Solution Techniques for Large-scale CFD Problems

Current CFD problems of interest are typically of a large-scalenature, characterized by a size and complexity demanding thecombined efforts of interdisciplinary teams from engineering,mathematics, computer science and physics. This book thus groups aprestigious cross-section of internationally known scientistsinvited to expound on the following themes: * Algorithms for vector, parallel and virtual-parallelarchitectures * Algorithms for massively parallel architectures * Convergence enhancement techniques, namely preconditionedinterative methods for implicit or fully-coupled approaches * Convergence enhancement techniques, such as defect correction,multigrid, formulation preconditioning and zonal methods * Application of these techniques to large-scale CFD analysis anddesign. This book should prove equally valuable for CFD developers,practitioners and graduate students.
