This study presents the calculation of stabilization parameters using quadrature-point components of element-level matrices. By analyzing various mesh types, including Q4, T3, and their derivatives, we explore the benefits of quadrature-point-based norms in achieving accurate local τ values in fluid dynamics simulations. The findings reveal that quadrature-point norms are particularly efficient in regions of rapid directional change, while also demonstrating the utility of an element-based approach for accounting local length scales. Our analysis reinforces the importance of selecting appropriate stabilization techniques for accurate computational results in mechanical engineering.

Discrete Point Values of • The previous contours hide information because they omit the mesh detail and are “smoothed” through different point locations: • Element-based at element centroid • Quadrature-point-based positions • Nodal-point-based positions

Conclusions Quadrature-point norm based values are efficient to compute. They yield higher values in local regions where the unit vector s or r rapidly changes its direction. The element-based norm is a general framework that automatically accounts for local length scales. Both norm-based methods decrease as the element polynomial order increases. Our favorite: element-based norm
