Incompressible Navier-Stokes, GMRES, and Multi-Element Airfoils

The talk will discuss current work in developing and applying the INS2D and INS3D flow solvers to problems in high-lift aerodynamics, primarily multi-element airfoils. These flow solvers solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the method of artificial compressibility. High-lift system flowfields are perhaps the most challenging aeronautical configurations for CFD. Difficulties with convergence for multi-element configurations using fine-grid overset meshes has led to research in using Krylov-space iterative matrix solvers. In particular, a Generalized Minimum Residual (GMRES) solver has found to be a dramatic improvement over a previously used Gauss-Seidal line-relaxation solver.
