Abstract

This paper introduces three new Schur complement approximations for the augmented Lagrangian preconditioner. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations discretized by a stabilized finite element method are utilized to evaluate these new approximations of the Schur complement. A wide range of numerical experiments in the laminar context determines the most efficient Schur complement approximation and investigates the effect of the Reynolds number, mesh anisotropy and refinement on the optimal choice. Furthermore, the advantage over the traditional Schur complement approximation is exhibited.
