On some recent adventures into improved finite element CFD methods for convective transport (Q1267940): Difference between revisions

The UTK (University of Tennessee, Knoxville) CFD research group describes its search on examining generalized Taylor series (Lax-Wendroff) methods, characteristic Euler flux resolutions, subgrid embedded high-degree Lagrange bases with static condensation, and assembled-stencil Fourier analysis optimization for finite element weak statement implementations. For appropriate model problems, including steady convection-diffusion and pure unsteady convection, and benchmark Navier-Stokes definitions, recent advances have led to accurate monotone methods with linear basis efficiency. This contribution highlights the theoretical developments, and presents quantitative documentation of achievable high quality solutions.
