Unigrid methods for boundary value problems with nonrectangular domains

Boundary value problems with nonrectangular domains were solved with unigrid methods. Unigrid was developed, its relationship to multigrid is described and some simple theory is presented. Its use is illustrated with a North Atlantic basin oceanographic model problem. It is demonstrated how unigrid...

Description
Summary:Boundary value problems with nonrectangular domains were solved with unigrid methods. Unigrid was developed, its relationship to multigrid is described and some simple theory is presented. Its use is illustrated with a North Atlantic basin oceanographic model problem. It is demonstrated how unigrid (and, hence, multigrid) can be used efficiently with vector computers on problems with irregular domains.
