Numerical simulation of turbulent flows (DNS or LES) requires numerical methods that are both stable and free of numerical dissipation. One way to achieve this is to enforce additional constraints, such as discrete conservation of mass, momentum, and kinetic energy. The objective of this work is to

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a family of finite difference schemes for the first and second derivatives of smooth functions. The schemes are Hermitian and symmetric and may be considered a more general version of the standard compact (Padรฉ) schemes discussed by Lele. They are different from the standard Padรฉ schemes, in that the first and second derivatives are evaluated simultaneously. For the same stencil width, the proposed schemes are two orders higher in accuracy, and have significantly better spectral representation. Eigenvalue analysis, and numerical solutions of the onedimensional advection equation are used to demonstrate the numerical stability of the schemes. The computational cost of computing both derivatives is assessed and shown to be essentially the same as the standard Padรฉ schemes. The proposed schemes appear to be attractive alternatives to the standard Padรฉ schemes for computations of the Navier-Stokes equations.
