Abstract. Novel spectral methods are formulated in terms of divergence-free
vector fields in order to compute finite amplitude time-dependent solutions
of incompressible viscous flows in cylindrical and/or annular geometries. The
numerical discretization of the method leads to a simple dynamical system of
