SUMMARYDeflating the shifted Laplacian with geometric multigrid vectors yields speedup. To verify this claim, we investigate a simplified variant of Erlangga and Nabben presented in [Erlangga and Nabben, ETNA, 2008;31:403-424]. We derive expressions for the eigenvalues of the two-level preconditioner for the onedimensional problem. These expressions show that the algorithm analyzed is not scalable. They also show that the imaginary shift can be increased without delaying the convergence of the outer Krylov acceleration. An increase of the number of grid points per wavelength results in convergence acceleration. This contrasts to the use of the shifted Laplace preconditioner. Our analysis also shows that the use of deflation results in a spectrum more favorable to the convergence of the outer Krylov acceleration. The near-null space components are still insufficiently well resolved, and the number of iterations increases with the wavenumber. In the two-dimensional case, the number of near-zero eigenvalues is larger than in the one-dimensional case. We perform numerical computations with the two-level and multilevel versions of the algorithm on constant and nonconstant wavenumber problems. Our numerical results confirm our spectral analysis.

In this study, an unsteady flow for drainage through a circular tank of an isothermal and incompressible Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid has been investigated. The series solution method is employed, and an analytical solution is obtained. Expressions for the velocity field, average velocity, flow rate, fluid depth at different times in the tank and time required for the wide-ranging drainage of the fluid (time of efflux) have been obtained. The Newtonian solution is attained by assuming σΒ02=0. The effects of various developing parameters on velocity field υz and depth of fluid H(t) are presented graphically. The time needed to drain the entire fluid and its depth are related and such relations are obtained in closed form. The effect of electromagnetic forces is analyzed. The fluid in the tank will drain gradually and it will take supplementary time for complete drainage.
