摘要
Panel methods for the calculation of wavemaking resistance result in a linear equation system for the unknown singularities.The coefficient matrix is full but not well conditioned.In this paper an incomplete LU decomposition (ILU) method and a combined multigrid ILU method are used to solve the linear system.Systematic computations using the ILU method have shown that the CPU time can be reduced to 30% to 40% of that using an incomplete Gaussian elimination method. In the proposed multigrid ILU method an averaged restriction and a piecewise constant prolongation are used.The construction of the coefficient matrix at coarse levels is based on geometrical considerations.It turns out that the condition of the relative consistency is fulfilled.Comparison computations have shown that nearly the same results were obtained.However,due to additional CPU time needed for the execution of the matrix vector products in the restriction and the prolongation proceses of the multigrid method,a further reduction of the total CPU time could not be reailized.
