Comparison of Finite Volume and Spectral/Hp Methods on Navier-Stokes Equations for Unsteady Incompressible Flow

Abstract: We provide a comparison of solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations obtained using codes based on finite volume and spectral element methods. Convergence properties are compared on test case with analytical solution. The dependence of Strouhal and Reynolds numbers for flow over a cylinder is reconstructed for both methods.

“…This may be a consequence of low level of numerical noise produced in spatial coordinates if high order approximation is used. Similar observation was reported also in 2D study comparing spectral/hp element method with the finite volumes in [8]. Therefore we imposed a small disturbance to velocity field in z-coordinate to speed up development of the final structures.…”

“…The spectral/hp approach was chosen as it is promising in sense of fast/spectral convergence in comparison to finite volumes, see e.g. [7]. High order approximation in space lowers the numerical diffusion and dispersion.…”

“…Higher accuracy in spatial coordinates causes later onset of wake oscillation (observable around t > 120 in Figure 4, c.f. [6]). For 47 Re evolution of positions P1-P4 exhibit periodic motion, which can be described as a functional dependence on time.…”
