Second order modified method of characteristics mixed defect-correction finite element method for time dependent Navier–Stokes problems

In this paper, a second order modified method of characteristics defect-correction (SOMMOCDC) mixed finite element method for the time dependent Navier–Stokes problems is presented. In this method, the hyperbolic part (the temporal and advection term) are treated by a second order characteristics tracking scheme, and the non-linear term is linearized at the same time. Then, we solve the equations with an added artificial viscosity term and correct this solution by using the defect-correction technique. The error analysis shows that this method has a good convergence property. In order to show the efficiency of the SOMMOCDC mixed finite element method, we first present some numerical results of an analytical solution problem, which agrees very well with our theoretical results. Then, we give some numerical results of lid-driven cavity flow with the Reynolds number Re = 5,000, 7,500 and 10,000. From these numerical results, we can see that the schemes can result in good accuracy, which shows that this method is highly efficient.
