Abstract In this paper, two acceleration techniques for Euler calculations are investigated. The first technique is an extrapolation procedure based on the Power Method; it is applicable when the iterative matrix has dominant eigenvalues. Both real and complex conjugate roots are allowed. The second technique is a generalization of the Minimal Residual Method, where the extrapolation step consists of a weighted combination of the corrections at different iteration levels and the weights are chosen to minimize the L 2-norm of the residual. Numerical results, using Jameson's Runge-Kutta Multigrid Code, are presented. The extra computational work to apply either technique is negligible and the extra storage is not a problem on current supercomputers.
