Error analysis of the SAV-MAC scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations (1909.05131v1)
Published 8 Sep 2019 in math.NA, cs.NA, and math.AP
Abstract: An efficient numerical scheme based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) and marker and cell scheme (MAC) is constructed for the Navier-Stokes equations. A particular feature of the scheme is that the nonlinear term is treated explicitly while being unconditionally energy stable. A rigorous error analysis is carried out to show that both velocity and pressure approximations are second-order accurate in time and space. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the theoretical results.
