Computational Details:

"Flow around the `GLW` characters (Leonid W. Granatstein) at medium Reynolds number"

• diameter of the circle: 2
• rotational speed 1 (counterclockwise) on the circle (tangential speed)
• other b.c.'s: zero velocity at the characters
• initial condition at t=0: starting fully developed
• viscosity parameter: 1/nu=1,000,000

• coarse mesh (=level 1): 38 cells, 62 vertices, 248 d.o.f.'s
  

  
  
  

• uniform refinements with exact boundary adaption
• visualization on level 6: 38,912 cells, 39,835 vertices, 196,416 d.o.f.`s
• computational mesh on level 7: 155,648 cells, 157,499 vertices, 781,952 d.o.f.`s
• nonconforming nonparametric rotated bilinear fem's (meanvalue version), UPW

• equidistant time stepping for computation with k=0.0222223
• equidistant time stepping for visualization with k= 0.2 (= 1 frame)
• Total time T= 50 seconds corresponds to 2,250 time steps
