Optimal Error Estimate for Semi-discrete Gauge-uzawa Method for the Navier-stokes Equations

چکیده
The gauge-Uzawa method which has been constructed in [11] is a projection type method to solve the evolution Navier-Stokes equations. The method overcomes many shortcomings of projection methods and displays superior numerical performance [11, 12, 15, 16]. However, we have obtained only suboptimal accuracy via the energy estimate in [11]. In this paper, we study semi-discrete gauge-Uzawa method to prove optimal accuracy via energy estimate. The main key in this proof is to construct the intermediate equation which is formed to gauge-Uzawa algorithm. We will estimate velocity errors via comparing with the intermediate equation and then evaluate pressure errors via subtracting gauge-Uzawa algorithm from Navier-Stokes equations.

Fully Discrete Finite Element Approximation for the Stabilized Gauge-Uzawa Method to Solve the Boussinesq Equations
The stabilized Gauge-Uzawa method (SGUM), which is a 2nd-order projection type algorithm used to solve Navier-Stokes equations, has been newly constructed in the work of Pyo, 2013. In this paper, we apply the SGUM to the evolution Boussinesq equations, which model the thermal driven motion of incompressible fluids. We prove that SGUM is unconditionally stable, and we perform error estimations o...
متن کاملThe Gauge-Uzawa Finite Element Method. Part I: The Navier-Stokes Equations
The Gauge-Uzawa FEM is a new first order fully discrete projection method which combines advantages of both the Gauge and Uzawa methods within a variational framework. A time step consists of a sequence of d+1 Poisson problems, d being the space dimension, thereby avoiding both the incompressibility constraint as well as dealing with boundary tangential derivatives as in the Gauge Method. This ...

A fully discrete penalty finite element method is presented for the two-dimensional time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations. The time discretization of the penalty Navier-Stokes equations is based on the backward Euler scheme; the spatial discretization of the time discretized penalty Navier-Stokes equations is based on a finite element space pair (Xh,Mh) which satisfies some approximate assumpt...
متن کاملError estimates for semi-Galerkin approximations of nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids
We consider the spectral semi-Galerkin method applied to the nonhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations. Under certain conditions it is known that the approximate solutions constructed through this method converge to a global strong solution of these equations. Here, we derive an optimal uniform in time error estimate in the H norm for the velocity. We also derive an error estimate for the density ...

We consider spectral semi-Galerkin approximations for the strong solutions of the nonhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations. We derive an optimal uniform in time error bound in the H 1 norm for approximations of the velocity. We also derive an error estimate for approximations of the density in some spaces L r .
