Hitesh P. Kahale, Rekha Kulkarni, Dr. Supriyo Paul, Dr. Vikas Kumar

Abstract


---In this paper, we review the solution of NS (Navier-Stokes) equation using the different schemes but will mainly focus on multigrid method. We also highlight features and applications of NS equation for some fluidic problems. The paper starts by briefly exploring the NS equation and its solution methodology using multigrid method and Intel Xeon phi accelerator device. Then the merits and demerits of different methods used for solving NS equation is discussed.

 


Keywords
