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.
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Solution Techniques for Large Scale CFD Problems, held in Montreal, Canada in September 1994. It addresses algorithms for architectures, convergence acceleration techniques and domain decomposition methods.
