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.

A new triangular spectral element method I: implementation and analysis on a triangle

TL;DR: This paper serves as the first effort to develop a new triangular spectral element method (TSEM) on unstructured meshes, using the rectangle–triangle mapping, and shows that this transform only induces a logarithmic singularity, which allows for a fast, stable and accurate numerical algorithm for its removal.

Simulation of Seismic Wave Propagation in an Asteroid Based upon an Unstructured MPI Spectral-Element Method: Blocking and Non-blocking Communication Strategies

TL;DR: In this paper, seismic wave propagation in asteroid 433-Eros is performed numerically based on a spectral-element method at frequencies lying between 2 Hz and 22 Hz, where the unstructured meshes are partitioned using the METIS software package in order to minimize edge cuts and therefore optimize load balancing in parallel blocking or non-blocking MPI implementations.
