A numerical resolution study of high order essentially non-oscillatory schemes applied to incompressible flow (Q1316005)

High order essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) schemes are applied to incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions. The projection to divergence-free velocity fields is achieved by fourth-order central-differences through fast Fourier transforms and a mild high-order filtering. The objective of this work is to assess the resolution of ENO schemes for large scale features of the flow when a coarse grid is used and small scale features of the flow, such as shears and roll-ups, are not fully resolved.
