Parallel Newton-Krylov-Schwarz algorithms for the transonic full potential equation. (English) Zbl 0917.76035

The authors study several aspects of the parallel implementation of a Krylov-Schwarz domain decomposition algorithm for the finite element solution of the nonlinear full potential equation of aerodynamics. They employ a combined algorithm, called Newton-Krylov-Schwarz (NKS) algorithm, and demonstrate that the NKS procedure, combined with a density upwinding continuation strategy for problems with weak shocks, is robust and economical for this class of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic nonlinear partial differential equations, with proper specification of several parameters. Numerical results for some subsonic and transonic flows are given and discussed.
