DNS of a Taylor Green vortex

Figure 3. AeroSol simulation of a Taylor-Green vortex: snapshot of one component of the vorticity.

In 2014, we finished the validation of Navier-Stokes discretization with the discontinuous Galerkin method in the Aerosol library. The result of Figure 3 is a first validation in turbulence conditions. The Taylor-Green vortex case is part of the C3 (i.e. "difficult") test cases of the high order CFD workshop, see https://www.grc.nasa.gov/hiocfd/.
