Abstract

Parallel two-level Schwarz methods are proposed for the numerical solution of convection-diffusion problems, with the emphasis on convection-dominated problems. Two variants of the methodology are investigated. They differ from each other by the type of boundary conditions (Dirichlet- or Neumann-type) posed on a part of the second-level subdomain interfaces. Convergence properties of the two-level Schwarz methods are experimentally compared with those of a variant of the standard multi-domain Schwarz alternating method. Numerical experiments performed on a distributed memory multiprocessor computer illustrate parallel efficiency of the methods.
