An efficient method for the computation of steady water-air flow with gravity is presented. The method is designed for fast solution using multigrid, combined with a line Gauss-Seidel smoother. A capturing model is used for the water surface, with fluxes based on artificial compressibility. A test on a channel flow with a bottom bump shows the accuracy of the method and the efficiency of the multigrid solver.
