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.

Localized Meshless Modeling of Natural-Convective Viscous Flows

TL;DR: In this article, a localized radial basis function (RBF) collocation meshless method is developed for natural-convection heat transfer problems in fully viscous fluid flows, and the expansion method is based on the localized collocation of polynomial-augmented Hardy multiquadrics RBF.

Direct numerical simulation of the flow around a wall-mounted square cylinder under various inflow conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of inflow conditions is assessed by considering two different cases with matching momentum-thickness Reynolds numbers Reθ ≃ 1000 at the obstacle: the first case is a fullyturbulent zero pressure gradient boundary layer, and the second one is a laminar boundary layer with prescribed Blasius inflow profile further upstream.

On scaling of diffuse-interface models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the mixing of two immiscible fluids in a lid-driven cavity flow where the interface between the two fluids is stretched roughly linearly with time, before break-up events start.

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.
