Multigrid convergence of an implicit symmetric relaxation scheme

The multigrid method has been applied to an existing three-dimensional compressible Euler solver to accelerate the convergence of the implicit symmetric relaxation scheme. This lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel implicit scheme is shown to be an effective multigrid driver in three dimensions. A grid refinement study is performed including the effects of large cell aspect ratio meshes. Performance figures of the present multigrid code on Cray computers including the new C90 are presented. A reduction of three orders of magnitude in the residual for a three-dimensional transonic inviscid flow using 920 k grid points is obtained in less than 4 min on a Cray C90. 23 refs.
