Non-zero structure of 2D Poisson OperatorUsing a Spectral Element Discretization
Discretized Steady Navier Stokes • Each time step requires a Nonlinear Solve • Each Nonlinear Solve requires a Linear solve • Each Linear Solve can be expensive - Need efficient scalable solvers
Preconditioner for Steady Navier Stokes Equations • Choose P_F as an inexpensive approximation to F • Choose P_S as an inexpensive approximation to the Schur complement of the system matrix
