Abstract:Abstract. In this article we consider the a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement of discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of the hydrodynamic stability problem associated with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Particular attention is given to the reliable error estimation of the eigenvalue problem in channel and pipe geometries. Here, computable a posteriori error bounds are derived based on employing the generalization of the standard Dual-Weighted-Residual approac… Show more
“…Here, the elements are marked for refinement/derefinement on the basis of the size of the elemental error indicators |η κ |, using the fixed fraction refinement algorithm with refinement and derefinement fractions set to 25% and 10%, respectively. Then, in the third example we present results for the cylindrical pipe with a sudden expansion, where we use both the error estimate derived in Section 4 and the error estimate for the eigenvalues, see [11]. In this case we compare the numerical results with recent experimental data, see Mullin et al [25].…”

“…This problem has been considered recently by Sherwin & Blackburn [26] et al [7] and also as a test problem in Cliffe et al [11]. In this setting, with a Poiseuille flow profile at the inlet, a steady O(2) symmetry breaking occurs with azimuthal wave number m = 1 when Re 0 = 721.05272346 to 8 decimal places.…”

“…If a single real-valued eigenvalue crosses the imaginary axis, then a steady bifurcation occurs; on the other hand, if a complex conjugate pair cross the imaginary axis then a Hopf bifurcation occurs, in which case a time dependent solution will exist. Throughout this paper we will be concerned only with steady bifurcations, however, for the application of the methodology employed in this article to Hopf bifurcations, see [11,10], where problems exhibiting Z 2 -symmetry are considered. In [11] we considered the application of the DWR a posteriori error estimation technique to compute the eigenvalues µ for a series of parameter values λ 0 , while in [10] the error estimation was directed specifically at computing the critical parameter value, i.e.…”

In this article, we study the stability of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the case when the underlying system possesses both rotational and reflectional symmetry, or more precisely, O(2) symmetry. To this end, we are interested in numerically estimating the critical Reynolds number Re, at which a (pitchfork) bifurcation point first occurs; a review of techniques for bifurcation detection can be found in Cliffe et al. [13], for example. The work in this article expands upon our recent work in [12] and [10] to include problems whose geometries exhibit both rotational and reflectional symmetry. The detection of bifurcation points in this setting is now well understood, for example, see Golubitsky and Schaeffer [19]. For the purposes of this article, we assume that a symmetric steady state solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations undergoes a steady pitchfork bifurcation at a critical value of the Reynolds number.

The problem of generalized tensor eigenvalue is the focus of this paper. To solve the problem, we suggest using the normalized Newton generalized eigenproblem approach (NNGEM). Since the rate of convergence of the spectral gradient projection method (SGP), the generalized eigenproblem adaptive power (GEAP), and other approaches is only linear, they are significantly improved by our proposed method, which is demonstrated to be locally and cubically convergent. Additionally, the modified normalized Newton method (MNNM), which converges to symmetric tensors Z‐eigenpairs under the same ‐Newton stability requirement, is extended by the NNGEM technique. Using a Gröbner basis, a polynomial system solver (NSolve) generates all of the real eigenvalues for us. To illustrate the efficacy of our methodology, we present a few numerical findings.
