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.

Computing Optimal Forcing Using Laplace Preconditioning

TL;DR: The method does not rely on timestepping, but on the solution of linear systems, in which the inverse Laplacian acts as a preconditioner, and it is demonstrated that for the lid-driven cavity, the optimal forcing can be computed using a factor of up to 500 times fewer operator evaluations than the standard method based on exponential timestepped.
