New Rosenbrock methods of order 3 for PDAEs of index 2. (English) Zbl 1162.65386
Summary: Motivated by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, the authors develop new Rosenbrock methods for index 2 partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs). Based on a well-known set of order conditions, solvers of order 3 with 4 internal stages are constructed. In particular, the methods allow the use of inexact Jacobians and approximations of $$\partial f/\partial t$$. This leads to an important advantage in the robustness of the solvers with respect to the practical computation of these terms. At the end of the paper, five test problems of different severity and complexity are presented. They show the performance of the new methods in comparison with other Rosenbrock-solvers.
