Abstract

We present in this paper numerical studies of higher order variational time stepping schemes combined with finite element methods for simulations of the evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, conforming inf-sup stable pairs of finite element spaces for approximating velocity and pressure are used as spatial discretization while continuous Galerkin–Petrov methods (cGP) and discontinuous Galerkin (dG) methods are applied as higher order variational time discretizations. Numerical results for the well-known problem of incompressible flows around a circle will be presented.
