Acceleration of Computations

Abstract

For complex practical problems the numerical simulation of the corresponding continuum mechanical model equations usually is highly demanding with respect to the efficiency of the numerical solution methods as well as to the performance of the computers. In order to achieve sufficiently accurate numerical solutions, in particular for flow simulations, in many practically relevant cases a very fine resolution is required and consequently results in a high computational effort and high memory requirements. Thus, in recent years intensive efforts have been undertaken to develop techniques to improve the efficiency of the computations.
