Abstract

The possibility of using the spectral vanishing viscosity method for the spectral element computation of high Reynolds number incompressible flows is investigated. An exponentially accurate stabilized formulation is proposed and then applied to the computation of the 2D wake of a cylinder. Such a formulation call be easily implemented in existing spectral element solvers, since only modifying the computation of the viscous term while preserving the symmetry of the corresponding bilinear form.
