A Unstructured Nodal Spectral-element Method for the Navier-stokes Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
An unstructured nodal spectral-element method for the Navier-Stokes equations is developed in this paper. The method is based on a triangular and tetrahedral rational approximation and an easy-to-implement nodal basis which fully enjoys the tensorial product property. It allows arbitrary triangular and tetrahedral mesh, affording greater flexibility in handling complex domains while maintaining all essential features of the usual spectral-element method. The details of the implementation and some numerical examples are provided to validate the efficiency and flexibility of the proposed method.

A sparse and high-order accurate line-based discontinuous Galerkin method for unstructured meshes
We present a new line-based discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization scheme for firstand second-order systems of partial differential equations. The scheme is based on fully unstructured meshes of quadrilateral or hexahedral elements, and it is closely related to the standard nodal DG scheme as well as several of its variants such as the collocation-based DG spectral element method (DGSEM) or...

In this paper we present a new unstructured spectral element method for use on triangular and tetrahedral subdomains. The algorithm maintains the accuracy and efficiency of standard quadrilateral/hexahedral spectral element methods but offers greater adaptivity. Standard unstructured meshes can be used and the order of the polynomial expansion can be varied within each triangular/tetrahedral su...
متن کاملHigh-Order Spectral Volume Method for the Navier-Stokes Equations on Unstructured Grids
In this paper, the spectral volume (SV) method is extended to solve the Navier-Stokes equations by treating the viscous terms with a mixed formulation named local Discontinuous Galerkin approach. The SV method combines two key ideas, which are the basis of the finite volume and the finite element methods, i.e., the physics of wave propagation accounted for by the use of a Riemann solver and hig...

متن کاملA Spectral Difference Method for the Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations on Unstructured Meshes
This work focuses on the extension of the recently introduced Spectral Difference Method to viscous flow. The spectral difference method is a conservative pseudo-spectral scheme based on a local collocation on unstructured elements. Recently results for scalar transport equations and the Euler equations have been presented. For the extension to viscous flow several techniques are investigated, ...
