Computational Details:

"Flow around the `TAAY' characters (A. Taylor) 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): 54 cells, 78 vertices, 346 d.o.f.'s
  

  
  
  

• uniform refinements with exact boundary adaption
• visualization on level 5: 13,824 cells, 14,238 vertices, 69,952 d.o.f.`s
• computational mesh on level 5: 55,296 cells, 56,126 vertices, 278,144 d.o.f.`s
• nonconforming nonparametric rotated bilinear fem's (meanvalue version), UPW

• equidistant time stepping for computation with k=0.022222223
