On the conservation properties of the two-level linearized methods for Navier-Stokes equations
Abstract: This manuscript is devoted to investigating the conservation laws of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations(NSEs), written in the energy-momentum-angular momentum conserving(EMAC) formulation, after being linearized by the two-level methods. With appropriate correction steps(e.g., Stoke/Newton corrections), we show that the two-level methods, discretized from EMAC NSEs, could preserve momentum, angular momentum, and asymptotically preserve energy. Error estimates and (asymptotic) conservative properties are analyzed and obtained, and numerical experiments are conducted to validate the theoretical results, mainly confirming that the two-level linearized methods indeed possess the property of (almost) retainability on conservation laws. Moreover, experimental error estimates and optimal convergence rates of two newly defined types of pressure approximation in EMAC NSEs are also obtained.
