Abstract

The Fourier analysis of the p-multigrid acceleration technique is considered for a dual-time scheme applied to the advection-diffusion equation with various cycle configurations. It is found that improved convergence can be achieved through V-cycle asymmetry where additional prolongation smoothing is applied. Experiments conducted on the artificial compressibility formulation of the Navier--Stokes equations found that these analytic findings could be observed numerically in the pressure residual, whereas velocity terms---which are more hyperbolic in character---benefited primarily from increased pseudo-time steps.
