Abstract :
A numerical comparison of a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method proposed by Nguyen et al. and the well established finite volume method of second order in space represented by the icoFoam and simpleFoam solver of OpenFOAM is given. The hybridizable iscontinuous Galerkin method has been reformulated as Picard iteration, hybridized and implemented from scratch. The methods are introduced and four numerical standard simulations are used in order to benchmark and evaluate the solver - the Taylor-Green vortex, the 180 degrees fence case as well as a two-dimensional stationary and non-stationary DFG benchmark. The numerical examples suggests hybridized discontinuous Galerkin methods are a competitive alternative to finite volume solvers for incompressible fluid simulations due to high accuracy and better stability properties.
