Convergence acceleration for unified-grid formulation using preconditioned implicit relaxation

Improved convergence rates for a unified grid framework are achieved by combining several convergence acceleration strategies, which include local implicit time-stepping, low-speed preconditioning, and relaxation methods. It is demonstrated that good convergence can be achieved on various grid types and topologies, all speed regimes, and for both inviscid and viscous flows.
