The Chebyshev spectral element approximation with exact quadratures

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper addressed and assessed some of the issues concerning the numerical accuracy on the Chebyshev spectral element method.

• A new Chebyshev spectral element method is developed by using exact quadratures in computing spectral elements.

• The method is validated with the Stokes and the Cauchy–Riemann problems.

• Numerical results show that an enhancement of the approximation convergence rate is attained.

• Numerical accuracy is much better than that from other spectral element methods.
