Abstract: | The multigrid algorithm was applied to solve the coupled set of elliptic quasilinear partial differential equations associated with three-dimensional coordinate generation. The results indicate that the multigrid scheme is more than twice as fast as conventional relaxation schemes on moderate-size grids. Convergence factors of order 0.90 per work unit were achieved on 36,000-point grids. The paper covers the form of transformation, develops the set of generation equations, and gives details on the multigrid approach used. Included are a development of the full-approximation storage scheme, details of the smoothing-rate analysis, and a section devoted to rational programming techniques applicable to the multigrid algorithm. |
