Implicit FEM-FCT algorithm for compressible flows

  • Conference paper
Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications

Summary

The flux-corrected transport (FCT) methodology is generalized to implicit finite element schemes and applied to the Euler equations of gas dynamics. The underlying low-order scheme is constructed by applying scalar artificial viscosity proportional to the spectral radius of the cumulative Roe matrix. All conservative matrix manipulations are performed edge-by-edge which leads to an efficient algorithm for the matrix assembly. The outer defect correction loop is equipped with a block-diagonal preconditioner so as to decouple the discretized Euler equations and solve all equations individually. As an alternative, a strongly coupled solution strategy is investigated in the context of stationary problems which call for large time steps.
