On the performance of curvature stabilization time stepping methods for double-diffusive natural convection flows in the presence of magnetic field

Abstract

This paper considers analytically and numerically the curvature-based stabilization method for double-diffusive natural convection flows in the presence of magnetic field. Unconditionally stable and optimally accurate second-order approximations are obtained. The impact of curvature stabilization on different flow fields are presented for several numerical test problems.
