  A third-order multistep time discretization for a Chebyshev tau spectral method
Vreman A., Kuerten J. Journal of Computational Physics 304(C): 162-169, 2016.  Type: Article

The authors, in a previous paper [1], noticed large errors in turbulence dissipation rate and enstrophy near the wall of a channel when solving turbulent channel flow using a spectral Chebyshev tau method in space and a Runge-Kutta (RK...

  Parameter selection and numerical approximation properties of Fourier extensions from fixed data
Adcock B., Ruan J. Journal of Computational Physics 273453-471, 2014.  Type: Article

The term “Fourier extensions” refers to a technique for approximating nonsmooth or nonperiodic functions using Fourier modes. Fourier series can approximate a smooth and periodic function very well with spectral con...
