A high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for 2D incompressible flows (Q1568628)

Conclusions: We present a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for two-dimensional incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in vorticity-streamfunction formulation, coupled with a standard continuous finite element solution of Poisson equation for the streamfunction. A natural matching between the two finite element spaces allows us to obtain total energy conservation and total enstrophy stability. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the accuracy and resolution of the method, and to verify optimal error estimates.
