Abstract

This paper investigates the benefits of local preconditioning for the compressible Euler equations to predict nearly incompressible fluid flow. The AUSMDV(P) upwind method by Edwards and Liou is employed to maintain the spatial accuracy of the method for low Mach numbers. The results indicate excellent solution quality and fast convergence to steady state for compressible as well as nearly incompressible fluid flow. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
