Stability and convergence analysis of implicit upwind schemes (Q5953203): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate stability and convergence of a variety of implicit upwind methods, such as ADI and Gauss-Seidel schemes. All the schemes are expressed in a common approximate factorization form, and multi-sweep strategies are formulated within a generalized dual-time framework. Study of high-aspect ratio effects reveals the importance of using the min-CFL time-step definition and viscous preconditioning based upon the min-CFL and max-VNN. Stability and convergence studies reveal that ADI and Gauss-Seidel schemes possess attractive convergence properties at all aspect ratios for two-dimensional problems, while the diagonally dominant ADI and point Gauss-Siedel schemes perform worse at high aspect ratios.
