Comparison of Wide and Compact Fourth Order Formulations of the Navier-Stokes Equations

In this study the numerical performances of wide and compact fourth order formulation of the steady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations will be investigated and compared with each other. The benchmark driven cavity flow problem will be solved using both wide and compact fourth order formulations and the numerical performances of both formulations will be presented and also the advantages and disadvantages of both formulations will be discussed.

Numerical Performance of Compact Fourth Order Formulation of the Navier-Stokes Equations

In this study the numerical performance of the fourth order compact formulation of the steady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations introduced by Erturk et al. (Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids, 50, 421-436) will be presented. The benchmark driven cavity flow problem will be solved using the introduced compact fourth order formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations with two different line iterative semi-implicit methods for both second and fourth order spatial accuracy. The extra CPU work needed for increasing the spatial accuracy from second order (O(x2)) to fourth order (O(x4)) formulation will be presented.
