Abstract

This paper presents results using preconditioners that are based on a number of variations of the Algebraic Recursive Multilevel Solver (ARMS). ARMS is a recursive block ILU factorization based on a multilevel approach. Variations presented in this paper include approaches which incorporate inner iterations, and methods based on standard reordering techniques. Numerical tests are presented for three-dimensional incompressible, compressible and magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) problems.
