Abstract
In this paper, we propose two hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods for the direct numerical simulation of the two-dimensional homogeneous isotropic decaying turbulence. We first establish the lattice Fourier analysis as a mathematical foundation. Then a universal approximation scheme is devised for our hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods for Navier-Stokes equations. Numerical experiments mainly concentrate on the decaying properties and the self-similar spectra of the two-dimensional homogeneous turbulence at various initial Reynolds numbers with an initial flow field governed by a Gaussian-distributed energy spectrum. Numerical results demonstrate that both the hexagonal Fourier-Galerkin methods are as efficient as the classic square Fourier-Galerkin method, while provide more effective statistical physical quantities in general.
