Development of a pressure-correction/staggered-grid based multigrid solver for incompressible recirculating flows (Q1802876)

A full multigrid/full approximation storage (FMG/FAS) algorithm is utilized to solve the incompressible recirculating flow problems in complex geometries. The algorithm is implemented in conjunction with a pressure-correction/staggered-grid type of technique using curvilinear coordinates. In order to illustrate the performance of the method, two flow configurations --- one a square cavity driven by a sliding top wall and the other a channel with multiple bumps --- are used as test problems.
