On the accuracy of the calculation of transient growth in plane Poiseuille flow

Abstract: SUMMARYThis paper addresses the accuracy of numerical methods to compute the transient energy growth of plane Poiseuille flow. We show that using the Chebyshev collocation method to discretize the linearized governing equations in the wall‐normal direction can introduce numerical problems when computing the energy evolution of the flow. We demonstrate that spurious eigenmodes of the discretized linear operator and numerical integration errors are the possible sources of the numerical problems, and we also show… Show more

“…It is already discussed in the literature that there are two kinds of spurious eigenvalues that are obtained in generalized eigenvalue problems; namely, numerically spurious eigenvalues and physically spurious eigenvalues. 18,37 Numerically spurious eigenvalues would appear for the stability operator of linearized Navier-Stokes equations as its eigenspectrum contains an infinite number of eigenvalues. Thereby, with a finite number of grids, it is not possible to resolve the whole spectrum.…”

“…[22,23,26,37,109,110,115,116,154,155,164,179,206,213,222,223,267,275,385,487,488,498]. This class of problem is very difficult to handle mathematically due to the fact that the mathematical operators which arise in the instability analysis are non-symmetric and the resulting eigenfunctions are close to being linearly dependent.…”
