Dear Howe,
Regarding 1., the main question is whether you added the 'mapping'
variable as the first arguments to all FEValues and FEFaceValues
constructors, to calls to VectorTools::interpolate* and
VectorTools::integrate_difference calls and the like, i.e., all routines
that internally construct an FEValues or FEFaceValues object. There is
defaults for many of those data structures using linear mappings,
MappingQ1, but you don't want to use them but rather the high order
description.
Regarding 2, I guess you are using a curved boundary description as
explained in step-1? You need to tell the triangulation to use a curved
description.
Regarding 3, your mesh looks quite good. You would probably want to use
a volume manifold on the whole circular part of the domain, though. And
ideally a TransfiniteInterpolationManifold on the regions where you go
from the circle to the straight ends, but the latter is not yet
available in any of the releases yet, only the github code, and it is
not critical and you should get better results up to degree 3 at least.
Best,
Martin

Dear Martin,
Thanks for your rapid response.
1.
The MappingQ is set to be the same as the order of velocity, as is
shown in the following code snippet:
/template <int dim>
//NS<dim>::NS (ParameterHandler &prm)
//:
// parameters (&prm),
// degree (prm.get_integer("pressure degree")),
// fe( FE_Q<dim>(QGaussLobatto<1>(degree+2)), dim,
// FE_Q<dim>(QGaussLobatto<1>(degree+1)), 1),
// fe_scalar (FE_Q<dim>(QGaussLobatto<1>(degree+2))),
// dof_handler (triangulation),
// dof_handler_scalar (triangulation),
//mapping (degree+2),
// computing_timer (std::cout,
// TimerOutput::summary,
// TimerOutput::wall_times)/
I am not quite sure whether the computation of the lift/drag in my
code is right, and my implementation is almost the same as the one in
this post:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dealii/rS6soTb69ig/C4QchAyEGwAJ
The only change is the first line :
/QGauss<dim-1> face_quadrature_formula(degree+2);/
2. I am using deal.II 8.4.0 now, and I think i am not using manifold
description in my code
3. The mesh is shown as follows:

Dear Howe,
How did you run your simulation? From your picture, it appears
that a higher order method is worse at higher degrees than a lower
order method, which does not match with my experience. If that
were the case, nobody would use high orders. However, you need to
bring many pieces in place to really get to the benefit of the
high order method for somewhat more complicated examples such as
the flow around a cylinder. Here is a list of things to look at:
- Do you use a high-order polynomial mapping MappingQ of the same
or higher degree as the interpolation space? Do you use this
mapping in all routines that evaluate quantities, such as the
usual assembly, the computation of the lift/drag, and so on?
- Do you use a manifold description that extends into the domain?
(Look into TransfiniteInterpolationManifold.) Without, you will
not get more than third order convergence.
- Do you have a good mesh around the area of interest? Flows
around cylinders tend to be really really sensitive to the mesh
quality around the cylinder.
For the Navier-Stokes equations around the cylinder, if everything
is done right one gets significantly improved results in terms of
accuracy over the number of degrees of freedom up to degree (6,5)
(velocity,pressure). Beyond that picture is less clear. At least
with the meshes that we tried in our group it was not worth to go
beyond. You can have a look a our results in section 5.4 and Figs.
9 and 10 of this preprint:

Dear Jaekwang
Have you solved this problem? If yes, Could pls share your
solution with us?
I am simulating a steady state flow over a cylinder, and the
drag/lift coefficient shows an unexpected trend of change as i
increase the discretization order and refine the mesh.
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gz5932Zt6e0/WYqvbO3P-4I/AAAAAAAABSM/6hBHn1FO5W0P7X3SPfQ4iyRaldDYzOt3QCLcBGAs/s1600/Image.png>
As is shown in the figure, the Cd increased as the cells
increased for all the discretization orders, however, for a fixed
cells, the Cd decreased as the discretization order increased.
In my opinion, to increase the order and refine the mesh should
both make the approximation more close to the exact solution,
thus should have the same trend of change.

Hello, I am a starter of dealii and am learning a lot these
days with the help of video lectures and tutorial examples.
I modified step-22 code (stokes flow code) into my own
problem, the flow around sphere.
and I intend to evaluate the drag force (which is
analytically given by stokes equation)
My code reached quite close to the value since the absolute
error : abs(drag_calculated-drag_exact)/drag_exact is around
10^(-3)
However, I expected that if I input higher 'degree' I will
receive more accurate result, but it didn't
Obviously Q2 is better than Q1. and Q3 is better than Q2. But
Q4 or Q4 is not better than Q2 or Q3?
Is there any reason on this?
(To be specific, if i say degree 2 , that mean I use (2+1)
for velocity, (2) for pressure, and (2+2) for Gauss integral....
Thank you
Jaekwang Kim
