Introduces the principles, techniques, applications and literature-both current and historical-of multigrid methods. Aimed at an audience with non-mathematical but computing-intensive disciplines and basic knowledge of analysis, partial differential equations and numerical mathematics, it is packed with helpful exercises, examples and illustrations.
Inspired by a series of lectures given in Delft, Bristol, Lyons, Zurich, and Beijing, this book provides a complete introduction to multigrid methods for partial differential equations, without requiring an advanced knowledge of mathematics. Topics such as the basic multigrid principle, smoothing methods and their Fourier analysis, course grid approximation, multigrid cycles and results of multigrid theory are treated. Applications in computational fluid dynamics are discussed extensively.
