A class of fully third-order accurate projection methods for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, a fully third-order accurate projection method for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is proposed. To construct the scheme, a continuous projection procedure is firstly presented. We then derive a sufficient condition for the continuous projection equations to be temporally third-order accurate approximations of the original Navier-Stokes equations by means of the localtruncation-error-analysis technique. The continuous projection equations are discretized temporally and spatially to third-order accuracy on the staggered grids, resulting in a fully third-order discrete projection scheme. The possibility to design higher-order projection methods is thus demonstrated in the present paper. A heuristic stability analysis is performed on this projection method showing the probability of its being stable. The stability of the present scheme is further verified through numerical tests. The third-order accuracy of the present projection method is validated by several numerical test cases.

从边界的视角看宗教与认同

作为一种社会组织范畴存在的宗教认同有着自身的边界,这种认同的形成过程也是宗教群体不断对自身认同边界进行阐释、构建和维系的过程。在认同结构中,边界是理解认同复杂性的有效途径。正如认同是在与社会他者不断比较、竞争和选择的互动关系中实现的,宗教认同的一般意义即社会中个体在理解某种特定神圣意义系统的基础上理性地通过个体行为和社会互动来表征自身认同边界的过程。在宗教认同体系中,边界在个体和群体认同形成和构建的过程中发挥着重要功能,尤其是除"区别"之外如"表达""联系""整合"等其他功能。通过边界看宗教认同,不仅是探究现代宗教变化机制的关键视角,也是理解多元社会中文化间接触、融合和冲突的重要切入点。
