[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00015.] The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how the information about the spectra of the convection-diffusion and Oseen operators influences the convergence of iterative method used for solving linear algebraic systems arising by finite difference approach to the correspondent continuous boundary value problems. Namely, the upwind and central differences and the Chebyshev iterations are considered. Having obtained the bounds on eigenvalues in the continuous and some discrete cases, the author proves that the convergence of the accelerated iterates is independent of the coefficient \(\varepsilon\) of the Laplace operator, but degrades as the mesh spacing \(h\to 0\). Contrary to this, the convergence of the preconditioned iterations with the self-adjoint term is shown to degrade as \(\varepsilon\to 0\). In spite of the fact that no numerical examples are given, the paper can be of great interest to researches in computational fluid dynamics.
