Summary
The slow viscous flow past a spatial body with corners and edges is investigated mathematically and numerically by means of a boundary element method. For the resulting algebraic system a new multigrid solver is designed and analyzed. It proves to be preferable to that introduced earlier by other authors for related problems. A numerical example illustrates the proposed methods, in particular it shows that the theoretical assertions are sharp in a sense.
