A second-order energy-stable low-regularity integrator for the Navier--Stokes equations
Abstract
A second-order exponential low-regularity integrator is proposed for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. The method requires only linear solves and satisfies a discrete energy-decay property. Second-order temporal convergence is established under a uniform H4 solution bound, with an error constant that remains bounded as the viscosity tends to zero. For the Fourier--Galerkin discretization, the optimal spatial convergence rate is established for fixed viscosity. The method can also be extended to conforming finite element methods while retaining the discrete energy-decay structure. Numerical results confirm the convergence orders and robustness with respect to the viscosity.
