The FFTRR-based fast direct algorithms for complex inhomogeneous biharmonic problems with applications to incompressible flows (Q2407916)

The authors develop the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and recursive-relations based accurate and fast algorithms for several biharmonic problems in a unit disc in the complex plane using the direct method, where the solutions of the biharmonic problems are written directly in terms of Green's function of these problems. These algorithms are implemented using MATLAB programs. Their performance in terms of accuracy and complexity is numerically evaluated and presented using several test problems. These fast algorithms are applied to solving incompressible slow viscous flow problems at low to moderate Reynolds numbers.
