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.

Coupling Spectral and Finite Elements for Second Order Elliptic Three-Dimensional Equations

TL;DR: This paper deals with the approximation of elliptic second order problems with a nonconforming domain decomposition method that allows for coupling spectral and finite element discretizations in three dimensions and presents two kinds of matching conditions at the interfaces between the subdomains.

Laminar syngas–air premixed flames in a closed rectangular domain: DNS of flame propagation and flame/wall interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of a lean laminar premixed syngas-air flame is investigated numerically in a confined rectangular domain with isothermal walls at a temperature that is lower than that of the unburned mixture.

Effect of turbulent inflow boundary condition in les of flow over a backward-facing step using spectral element method

TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic model for generating inflow turbulence is implemented and compared to the method of generating Inflow turbulence with random fluctuations, which leads to laminarization of the flow in the inlet channel.

Computational and experimental study of a captive annular eddy

TL;DR: In this article, the main flow and the captive eddy between it and the walls are analyzed, and it is concluded that the main role of the eddy is to shape the flow with a rather small energy exchange.
