In this paper, we have developed new hybrid compact schemes for the simulation of stream function-velocity formulation of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The first-order spatial derivatives are approximated by the optimized upwind compact scheme, and the Laplacian and biharmonic operators are discretized using fourth-order hybrid compact schemes. Moreover, we have also performed Fourier analysis to assess the resolution and added numerical diffusion properties of numerical schemes for stream function-velocity formulation of the linear Navier-Stokes equation. For time discretization, we have used explicit fourth-stage fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and hybrid filters. Furthermore, to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the schemes, several fluid flow problems, including a test problem with a non-homogeneous source term and a lid-driven cavity problem, are considered. Numerical results exhibit a great match to the results reported in the literature at lower computational cost with hybrid filters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
