A Multigrid Solver Based on Distributive Smoother and Residual Overweighting for Oseen Problems

Abstract

An efficient multigrid solver for the Oseen problems discretized by Marker and Cell (MAC) scheme on staggered grid is developed in this paper. Least squares commutator distributive Gauss-Seidel (LSC-DGS) relaxation is generalized and developed for Oseen problems. Residual overweighting technique is applied to further improve the performance of the solver and a defect correction method is suggested to improve the accuracy of the discretization. Some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed solver.
