Computational Details:

"Flow around the `ULI` characters (Ulrich Felzmann) at high 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): 19 cells, 34 vertices, 129 d.o.f.'s
  

  
  
  

• uniform refinements with exact boundary adaption
• visualization on level 6: 19,456 cells, 19,998 vertices, 98,368 d.o.f.`s
• computational mesh on level 7: 77,824 cells, 78,910 vertices, 332,928 d.o.f.`s
• nonconforming nonparametric rotated bilinear fem's (meanvalue version), UPW

• equidistant time stepping for computation with k=0.0222223
