The spatial derivative in Nektar++ is calculated using the Lagrange polynomial on quadrature points. You can refer to section 2.4.2 of this book
Karniadakis G.E., Sherwin S.J. (2005). Spectral/hp element methods for computational fluid dynamics. Oxford University Press.

Hi Everyone,
One thing I am noticing with NEKTAR++ is that you specify the base flow function in the configuration/xml file. However, both LEE and APE equations require the estimation of the spatial gradients of the base flow. I was wondering what method of approximation
is used within NEKTAR++ as the configuration files does not ask for an analytical expression of the spatial gradients.
