Pseudo-spectral method – TheFluidsLab

Comparison of spectral and finite element methods applied to the study of the core-annular flow in an undulating tube

Authors Kouris C., Dimakopoulos Y., Georgiou G., Tsamopoulos J. Abstract A Galerkin/finite element and a pseudo-spectral method, in conjunction with the primitive (velocity-pressure) and streamfunction-vorticity formulations, are tested for solving the two-phase flow in a tube, which has a periodically varying, circular cross section. Two immiscible, incompressible, Newtonian fluids are […]
