TLDR
In this article, a spectral element method was proposed for numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, where the computational domain is broken into a series of elements, and the velocity in each element is represented as a highorder Lagrangian interpolant through Chebyshev collocation points.

Control of the Unsteady Flow in a Stator Blade Row Interacting With Upstream Moving Wakes

TL;DR: In this article, a spectral-element Navier-Stokes solver was applied to the study of the unsteady flow arising from wake-stator interaction and the results showed that the interaction between the wakes and the stator blades produces a characteristic pattern of vortical disturbances, which have been correlated to the pressure fluctuations.
