A parallel, high-order discontinuous Galerkin code for laminar and turbulent flows. (English) Zbl 1237.76071

Summary: In this study we present a solution method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations as well as the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) based on a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) space discretisation. For the turbulent computations we use the standard Wilcox \(k-\omega\) or the Spalart- Allmaras model in order to close the RANS system. We currently apply either a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) or one of the Bassi-Rebay formulations (BR2) for the discretisation of second-order viscous terms. Both approaches (LDG and BR2) can be advanced explicitly as well as implicitly in time by classical integration methods. The boundary is approximated in a continuously differentiable fashion by curved elements not to spoil the high-order of accuracy in the interior of the flow field.
