AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">We propose an efficient and robust algorithm to solve the steady
Euler equations on unstructured grids. The new algorithm is a
Newton-iteration method in which each iteration step is a linear
multigrid method using block lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel
(LU-SGS) iteration as its smoother. To regularize the Jacobian
matrix of Newton-iteration, we adopted a local residual dependent
regularization as the replacement of the standard time-stepping
relaxation technique based on the local CFL number. The proposed
method can be extended to high order approximations and three
spatial dimensions in a nature way. The solver was tested on a
sequence of benchmark problems on both quasi-uniform and local
adaptive meshes. The numerical results illustrated the efficiency
and robustness of our algorithm.</p>
