Iterative Finite-Difference Solution of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow With Truncated Modal Acceleration and Imaginary Time (Algorithm, Modeling, Steady-State)
This work discusses acceleration of the convergence of some classic point-iterative methods; Jacobi, simultaneous overrelaxation (JOR), Gauss-Seidel and successive overrelaxation (SOR). Each of these methods is diffusive in nature. Such methods do not distribute calculated changes of mass, momentum, and energy properly. As a result local imbalances diffuse and dissipate quickly while global imbalances control the convergence rate.
