The accurate numerical simulation of turbulent incompressible flows is a challenging topic in computational fluid dynamics. For discretisation methods to be robust the under-resolved regime, mass conservation as well energy stability are key ingredients obtain and discretisations. Recently, two approaches have been proposed context high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretisations that address these aspects differently.

Abstract We introduce a new discretization based on polynomial Trefftz-DG method for solving the Stokes equations. Discrete solutions of this fulfill equations pointwise within each element and yield element-wise divergence-free solutions. Compared to standard DG methods, strong reduction degrees freedom is achieved, especially higher degrees. In addition, in contrast many other our approach allows us easily incorporate inhomogeneous right-hand sides (driving forces) by using concept...

Summary In this work we consider the numerical solution of incompressible flows on two‐dimensional manifolds. Whereas compatibility demands velocity and pressure spaces are known from flat case one further has to deal with approximation a field that lies only in tangential space given geometry. Abandoning H 1 ‐conformity allows us construct finite elements which are—due an application Piola transformation—exactly tangential. To reintroduce continuity (in weak sense) make use (hybrid)...
