We discuss our preliminary experiences with several parallel two-level additive Schwarz
type domain decomposition methods for the simulation of three-dimensional transonic
compressible flows. The focus is on the implementation of the parallel coarse mesh solver,
which is used to reduce computational cost and speed up convergence of the linear al-
gebraic solvers. Results of a local two-level and a global two-level algorithm on a multi-
processor computer are presented for computing steady flows around a NACA0012 airfoil
using the Euler equations discretized on unstructured meshes.
