Book excerpt: Splitting methods provide efficient tools for solving linear and nonlinear time dependent problems modelled by partial differential equations. In this report we discuss the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluids by such methods. The splitting permits decoupling the two main difficulties in the problem, namely the nonlinearity and the incompressibility. Actually these splitting methods have a broad range of applicability and can be applied for example, to the solution of eigenvalue problems. Originator supplied keywords include: operator splitting methods, nonlinear least squares, preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithms, finite element approximations, eigenvalue calculation, and variational methods.
