The main purpose of this work is the efficient implementation of a multigrid algorithm for solving Navier-Stokes problems at low Reynolds numbers in different triangular geometries. In particular, a finite element formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations, using quadratic finite elements for the velocities and linear finite elements to approximate the pressure, is used to solve the problem of flow in a triangular cavity, driven by the uniform motion of one of its side walls. An appropriate multigrid method for this discretization of Navier-Stokes equations is designed, based on a Vanka type smoother. Moreover, the data structure used allows an efficient stencil-based implementation of the method, which permits us to perform simulations with a large number of unknowns with low memory consumption and a relatively low computational cost.
