Description of the flow problem

  • Squared domain of length 30.
  • One wing plane is located at x = 0, y = 0.
  • Inflow b.c.'s: constant 1 at the left i.e in between X= -10 , Y=-7.5 & X=10, Y=7.7.
  • Outflow b.c.'s:  Unknown at the right i.e. in between X=10, Y0-7.5 & X=20, Y=7.7 .
  • Other b.c.'s: zero velocity at the fixed walls.
  • Initial condition at t=0: starting from rest.
  • Viscosity parameter: 1/nu=10000.




Description of the spatial discretization

  • coarse mesh (=level 1): 128 cells, 152 vertices, 688 d.o.f.`s



  • uniform refinements with exact boundary adaption
  • visualization on level 5: 32768 cells, 33152 vertices, 164608 d.o.f.`s
  • computational mesh on level 5: 32768 cells, 33152 vertices, 164608 d.o.f.`s
  • nonconforming nonparametric rotated bilinear fem's (meanvalue version), UPW




Description of the temporal discretization

  • equidistant time stepping for computation with k=0.01
  • equidistant time stepping for visualization with k=0.25 (= 1 frame)
  • Total time T=30 corresponds to 3,000 time steps
  • fractional step theta scheme
