Mixed methods for stationary Navier-Stokes equations based on pseudostress-pressure-velocity formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop and analyze mixed finite element methods for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. Our mixed method is based on the pseudostress-pressure-velocity formulation. The pseudostress is approximated by the Raviart-Thomas, Brezzi-Douglas-Marini, or Brezzi-DouglasFortin-Marini elements, the pressure and the velocity by piecewise discontinuous polynomials of appropriate degree. It is shown that these sets of finite elements are stable and yield optimal accuracy for the Stokes problem. For the pseudostress-pressure-velocity formulation of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, the well-posedness and error estimation results are established. By eliminating the pseudostress variables in the resulting algebraic system, we obtain cell-centered finite volume schemes for the velocity and pressure variables that preserve local balance of momentum.

The pseudostress-velocity formulation of the stationary Stokes problem allows a Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element formulation with quasi-optimal convergence and some superconvergent reconstruction of the velocity. This local postprocessing gives rise to some averaging a posteriori error estimator with explicit constants for reliable error control. Standard residual-based explicit a posteriori...
متن کاملGuaranteed Velocity Error Control for the Pseudostress Approximation of the Stokes Equations
The pseudostress approximation of the Stokes equations rewrites the stationary Stokes equations with pure (but possibly inhomogeneous) Dirichlet boundary conditions as another (equivalent) mixed scheme based on a stress in H(div) and the velocity in L2. Any standard mixed finite element function space can be utilized for this mixed formulation, e.g., the Raviart-Thomas discretization which is r...

Abstract. The pseudostress approximation of the Stokes equations rewrites the stationary Stokes equations with pure (but possibly inhomogeneous) Dirichlet boundary conditions as another (equivalent) mixed scheme based on a stress in Hpdivq and the velocity in L. Any standard mixed finite element function space can be utilized for this mixed formulation, e.g. the Raviart-Thomas discretization wh...
