Abstract
A new high spectral accuracy compact difference scheme is proposed here. This has been obtained by constrained optimization of error in spectral space for discretizing first derivative for problems with non-periodic boundary condition. This produces a scheme with the highest spectral accuracy among all known compact schemes, although this is formally only second-order accurate. Solution of Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible flows are reported here using this scheme to solve two fluid flow instability problems that are difficult to solve using explicit schemes. The first problem investigates the effect of wind-shear past bluff-body and the second problem involves predicting a vortex-induced instability.
