Abstract

The authors consider the solution of large nonlinear problems in Fluid Dynamics by functional least square formulation and conjugate gradient algorithms with scaling. A new technique for the incomplete Choleski factorization of large, sparse symmetric positive definite matrices is presented. Then the special properties of the associated auxiliary operators allow the calculation of efficient incore solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids. To illustrate the possibility of the method, a 2-D unsteady separated flow in and around an air intake at large incidence (40 degrees) and fairly high Reynolds number (750) is simulated; the results of the numerical experiments are displayed and analyzed.
