Block preconditioners for the discrete incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

We examine the convergence characteristics of iterative methods based on a new preconditioning operator for solving the linear systems arising from discretization and linearization of the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations. For steady-state problems, we show that the preconditioned problem has an...
