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.

Controllability method for the Helmholtz equation with higher-order discretizations

TL;DR: Higher-order approximation reduces the pollution effect associated with finite element approximation of time-harmonic wave equations, and mass lumping makes explicit time-stepping schemes for the wave equation very efficient.

Chaotic advection in a steady, three-dimensional, Ekman-driven eddy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated and quantified the stirring due to chaotic advection within a steady, three-dimensional, Ekman-driven, rotating cylinder flow, characterized by strong background rotation, and explored variations in Ekman and Rossby numbers, and, over ranges appropriate for the ocean mesoscale and submesoscale.
