Abstract

In this paper computed results from Steamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin and Discontinuous Galerkin finite-element methods are compared for various two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes applications. Identical meshes are utilized for each comparison with linear, quadratic, and cubic elements employed. The order of accuracy is assessed for each scheme for viscous flows using the method of manufactured solutions, and results from each scheme are compared to experimental data. Each scheme is notionally of design order, and results from both compare well with experimental data. Both schemes are viable finite-element discretization techniques, and neither applies an unnecessary amount of artificial dissipation.
