In this work, a high-order nodal discontinuous Galerkin method (NDGM) is developed and assessed for the simulation of 2D incompressible flows on triangle elements. The governing equations are the 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with the artificial compressibility method. The discretization of the spatial derivatives in the resulting system of equations is made by the NDGM and the time integration is performed by applying the implicit dual-time stepping method. Three numerical fluxes, namely, the local Lax–Friedrich, Roe and AUSM+-up are formulated and applied to assess and compare their accuracy and performance in the simulation of incompressible flows using the NDGM.
