Application of the Multigrid Method to Calculations of Transonic Potential Flow about Wing-Fuselage Combinations
Abstract
The multigrid (MG) method has been applied to the calculation of transonic potential flow-fields about arbitrary three-dimensional wing-body combinations. Numerical results for iterative convergence rate are in good agreement with those predicted by a local mode analysis, and show substantial improvement over conventional relaxation algorithms.
