Multigrid iteration solution procedure for solving two-dimensional sets of coupled equations. [HTGR]
A procedure of iterative solution was coded in Fortran to apply the multigrid scheme of iteration to a set of coupled equations for solving two-dimensional sets of coupled equations. The incentive for this effort was to make available an implemented procedure that may be readily used as an alternative to overrelaxation, of special interest in applications where the latter is ineffective. The multigrid process was found to be effective, although not always competitive with simple overrelaxation. Implementing an effective and flexible procedure is a time-consuming task. Absolute error level evaluation was found to be essential to support methods assessment. A code source listing is presented to allow simple application when the computer memory size is adequate, avoiding data transfer from auxiliary storage. Included are the capabilities for one-dimensional rebalance and a driver program illustrating use requirements. Feedback of additional experience from application is anticipated.
