We analyze and test a simple-to-implement two-step iteration for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that consists of first applying the Picard iteration and then applying the Newton iteration to the Picard output. We prove that this composition of Picard and Newton converges quadratically, and our analysis (which covers both the unique solution and non-unique solution cases) also suggests that this solver has a larger convergence basin than usual Newton because of the improved stability properties of Picard-Newton over Newton. Numerical tests show that Picard-Newton converges more reliably for higher Reynolds numbers and worse initial conditions than Picard and Newton iterations. We also consider enhancing the Picard step with Anderson acceleration (AA), and find that the AAPicard-Newton iteration has even better convergence properties on several benchmark test problems.
