Abstract: | 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 local- truncation-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.
