Abstract In this paper, we discuss the efficiency and speed-up of parallel-in-time calculations of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a PC-cluster. The parallel-in-time method is based on the alternate use of coarse global sequential solvers with fine local parallel ones in an iterative predictor-corrector fashion. Therefore, the efficiency of parallel calculations is strongly dependent on the number of iterations required for convergence. The one-dimensional scalar transport equation and the two-dimensional incompressible unsteady form of the Navier-Stokes equations were used to conduct numerical experiments to derive some conclusions concerning the accuracy and convergence of the iterative… More >
