Abstract
Grad-div stabilization, adding a term -gamma grad div u, has proven to be a useful tool in the simulation of incompressible flows. Such a term requires a choice of the coefficient gamma and studies have begun appearing with various suggestions for its value. We give an analysis herein that provides a restricted range of possible values for the coefficient in 3d turbulent flows away from walls.
