Euler and Navier-Stokes Solvers Using Multi-Dimensional Upwind Schemes and Multigrid Acceleration

This volume contains results of two joint research projects, carried out in the framework of the BRITE/ EURAM Aeronautics R & D Programme of the European Community. Research partners in the project were: the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, the Free University of Brussels, the University of Bari, the Dutch Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science, the Technical University of Denmark and the Swedish Royal Institutes of Technology. The first three partners mainly worked on multi-dimensional upwind techniques for discretizing the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, the latter three on (solution-adaptive) multigrid techniques for solving discrete systems of above equations. A wide variety of novel numerical methods is described.
