An implicit multigrid method for the simulation of chemically reacting flows (Q1275176)

This paper investigates different approaches to treat chemical and turbulent production terms on coarse grids in order to enable convergence. A full coarsening four-level nested multigrid method is used for all conservation equations including those of turbulence and species transport. Strong convergence accelerations are achieved by a local source term-dependent damping of the restricted residual error. Several test cases with and without combustion demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed multigrid algorithm. \(\copyright\) Academic Press.
