In order to solve the Navier-Stokes equations by spectral methods, we develop an algorithm using a staggered grid to compute the pressure. On this grid, an iterative process based on an artificial compressibility matrix associates the pressure with the continuity equation. This method is very accura

✦ Synopsis
We present a flexible, non-conforming staggered-grid Chebyshev spectral multidomain method for the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this method, subdomain corners are not included in the approximation, thereby simplifying the subdomain connectivity. To allow for local refinement of the polynomial order or subdomain subdivision, non-conforming subdomains are treated by a mortar method. Spectral accuracy is shown in one-and two-dimensional linear and nonlinear problems. Application is made to four compressible flow problems: the Couette flow, a steady boundary layer over a flat plate, steady transonic flow in a nozzle, and unsteady flow over a cylinder at a Reynolds number of 75.
