Loetzbeyer Institutf ur Informatik Technische Universitat Munchen D-80290 Munchen Germany email:loetzbey@informatik.tu-muenchen.de U. Ruede Institut fur Mathematik Universitat Augsburg D-86135 Augsburg Germany email:ruede@math.uni-augsburg.de Abstract The multilevel adaptive iteration is an attempt to improve both the robustness and efficiency of iterative sparse system solvers. Unlike in most other iterative methods, the order of processing and sequence of operations is not determined a priori. The method consists of a relaxation scheme with an active set strategy and can be viewed as an efficient implementation of the Gauss-Southwell relaxation. With this strategy, computational work is focused on where it can efficiently improve the solution quality. To obtain full efficiency, the algorithm must be used on a multilevel structure. This algorithm is then closely related to multigrid or multilevel preconditioning algorithms, and can be shown to have asymptotically optimal convergence. In this paper the focus is on a variant that uses data structures with a locally uniform grid refinement. The resulting grid system consists of a collection of patches where each patch is a uniform rectangular grid and where adaptive refinement is accomplished by arranging the patches flexibly in space. This construction permits improved implementations that better exploit high performance computer designs. This will be demonstrated by numerical examples. AMS subject classification: 65N55, 65N50. Key words: Multigrid, domain decomposition, adaptive, iterative methods.

The Jackson Hole Area and Recreation: Located in Northwestern Wyoming, Jackson Hole is a beautiful alpine valley ringed on all sides by mountains. The Grand Teton Range on the east, and the Absaroka on the north. The elevation of the valley ranges from 6,200 feet to 6,800 feet with some of the surrounding mountains attaining heights of over 13,400 ft. The average high temperature in July is 79 degrees and the average low is 41 degrees. Jackson Hole has unlimited recreational opportunities. Grand Teton National Park, the National Elk Refuge, and Yellowstone National Park are but a few of the nearby attractions. These public lands afford an abundance of hiking, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, white water rafting, camping, biking, and just plain old outdoor fun. Twenty-mile long Jackson Lake, at the foot of 12,065 Mt. Moran, is popular with water skiers and sailors as well as fishermen. The Jackson Hole area is a photographer's paradise. Tennis courts and two 18-hole golf courses are also available. The Old West is still alive in Jackson Hole where you can take a stagecoach ride through town or enjoy the rodeo. In addition, Jackson Hole boasts a fascinating array of art galleries, history museums, featuring the renowned National Wildlife Art Museum, and shops. The Grand Teton Music Festival performs in the summer, featuring musicians from all over the world. Transportation to the Jackson Hole Area: The Jackson Airport, is located 8 miles north of Jackson. The airport is serviced by Delta out of Salt Lake City, UT, United out of Denver, Colorado, and American out of Chicago, IL. Bus, taxi service, and most major rental car companies are available at the airport. There are flights to the Jackson Airport from most of the major cities around the world. Please make your airline reservation destination Jackson Airport. State Highway 22 goes west to the Idaho border and connects with Route 390 north and south through Jackson. Thirty miles north at Moran Junction, 191 connects with U.S. 287/26 to the east, and with 287/89 north to Yellowstone. Twelve miles south of Jackson at Hoback Junction, 191 connects with 86/26 to the south and west and 189 to the southeast.

As computers become more powerful, direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) become more and more important and viable for the prediction and control of transitional and turbulent flows on complex configurations. The conference encourages participants to present all topics related to DNS and LES which include: . DNS/LES toward understanding fundamental flow physics . DNS/LES for complex flows . DNS/LES for flow transition . DNS/LES for fully developed turbulent flow . DNS/LES for aeroacoustics . DNS/LES for heat transfer applications . DNS/LES for combustion applications .
