Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a new solver for the Navier-Stokes equations coming from the channel flow with high Reynolds number. We use the preconditioned Krylov subspace iterative methods such as Generalized Minimum Residual Methods (GMRES). We consider the variation of the Hermitian and Skew-Hermitian splitting to construct the preconditioner. Convergence of the preconditioned iteration is analyzed. We can show that the proposed preconditioner has a robust behavior for the Navier-Stokes problems in variety of models. Numerical experiments show the robustness and efficiency of the preconditioned GMRES for the Navier-Stokes problems with Reynolds numbers up to ten thousands.
