Abstract:
An implicit solver for incompressible unsteady flows is presented,based on the dynamic hybrid mesh proposed by the authors previously. Thesolver is based on an artificial compressibility method with dual-timestepping for time advancing. To accelerate the convergence insub-iterations, we use a block LU-SGS coupling with the multi-gridtechnique based on hybrid grids. Several typical cases are simulated tovalidate the flow solver. The numerical results show the efficiency andaccuracy of the solver for incompressible unsteady flows.
