About this Item

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The GAMM Committee for 'Efficient Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations' organises seminars on subjects concerning the algorithmic treatment of par tial differential equations. The topics are discretisation methods like the finite element and the boundary element method for various types of applications in structural and fluid mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to the advanced solution methods. The series of such seminars was continued in 1994, January 14-16, with the 10th Kiel-Seminar on the special topic Fast Solvers for Flow Problems at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel. The seminar was attended by 100 scientist from 9 countries. 23 lectures were given, including two invited survey lectures. The central topic of most of the contributions are the Navier-Stokes equations. The authors discuss robust methods, parallel implementations, defect correction techniques, adaptive methods including error estimators, domain decompositions and FEM-BEM coupling. The invited lectures concern the hierarchical multigrid method for unstruc tured grids and structured adaptive finite-volume multigrid for compressible flows. 292 pp. Deutsch.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume contains 23 contributions to the 10th Gamm-Seminar, which was held in Kiel on the 14-16 of January 1994. The central topics are advanced numerical techniques for solving flow problems. The Navier-Stokes equations are discussed with respect to anisotropically refined meshes, in combination with non-equilibrium chemistry and with respect to implicit time-discretizations and parallel solvers. Furthermore, robust multi-grid methods are described for this problem. Five papers are devoted to parallel algorithms, and a further one to domain decomposition techniques. The very important aspect of adaptive strategies is considered in several contributions, including a discussion of appropriate error estimators. Other subjects are the Fem-Bem coupling, convection-dominated systems, unstructured grid techniques and complex geometries in 3-D.
