Hi Jed,

I need a solve a Poisson equation, which is part of my finite volume CFD code.

The RHS terms are calculated from the velocity.

In the standard mtd, the RHS terms are calculated from the velocity, which then solves the Poisson eqn to get the pressure.

Now, to improve the accuracy of the pressure obtained, a paper suggested obtaining the pressure from the velocity in 1 iteration. Then use the new pressure for the momentum eqn to get a more accurate intermediate velocity. The RHS terms are recomputed again using the new velocity, which is then used to calculate the new pressure. This cycle goes on until the pressure converges to a certain value.

Hence, I wonder what is the best way to do it.

Thanks!

Yours sincerely,

You'll have to explain what you are trying to do.
