AB - The selective frequency damping (SFD) method is an alternative to classical Newton’smethod to obtain unstable steady-state solutions of dynamical systems. However, thismethod has two main limitations: it does not converge for arbitrary control parameters,and when it does converge, the time necessary to reach a steady-state solution may bevery long. In this paper, we present an adaptive algorithm to address these two issues.We show that by evaluating the dominant eigenvalue of a “partially converged” steadyflow, we can select a control coefficient and a filter width that ensure an optimumconvergence of the SFD method. We apply this adaptive method to several classicaltest cases of computational fluid dynamics and we show that a steady-state solution canbe obtained with a very limited (or without any) a priori knowledge of the flow stabilityproperties
