| description | <p style="text-align:justify;">Solving efficiently the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is a major challenge, especially in the three‐dimensional case. The approach investigated by Elman et al. (Finite Elements and Fast Iterative Solvers. Oxford University Press: Oxford, 2005) consists in applying a preconditioned GMRES method to the linearized problem at each iteration of a nonlinear scheme. The preconditioner is built as an approximation of an ideal block‐preconditioner that guarantees convergence in 2 or 3 iterations. In this paper, we investigate the numerical behavior for the three‐dimensional lid‐driven cavity problem with wedge elements; the ultimate motivation of this analysis is indeed the development of a preconditioned Krylov solver for stratified oceanic flows which can be efficiently tackled using such meshes. Numerical results for steady‐state solutions of both the Stokes and the Navier–Stokes problems are presented. Theoretical bounds on the spectrum and the rate of convergence appear to be in agreement with the numerical experiments. Sensitivity analysis on different aspects of the structure of the preconditioner and the block decomposition strategies are also discussed. </p> |
