Comparison of wide and compact fourth-order formulations of the Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract

In this study the numerical performances of wide and compact fourth-order formulation of the steady 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations will be investigated and compared with each other. The benchmark driven cavity flow problem will be solved using both wide and compact fourth-order formulations and the numerical performances of both formulations will be presented and also the advantages and disadvantages of both formulations will be discussed.
