Local projection finite element stabilization for the generalized Stokes problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze pressure stabilized finite element methods for the solution of the generalized Stokes problem and investigate their stability and convergence properties. An important feature of the method is that the pressure gradient unknowns can be eliminated locally thus leading to a decoupled system of equations. Although stability of the method has been established, for the homogeneous Stokes equations, the proof given here is based on the existence of a special interpolant with additional orthogonal property with respect to the projection space. This, makes it a lot simpler and more attractive. The resulting stabilized method is shown to lead to optimal rates of convergence for both velocity and pressure approximations.

A stabilized finite element method for the Stokes problem based on polynomial pressure projections
A new stabilized finite element method for the Stokes problem is presented. The method is obtained by modification of the mixed variational equation by using local L polynomial pressure projections. Our stabilization approach is motivated by the inherent inconsistency of equal-order approximations for the Stokes equations, which leads to an unstable mixed finite element method. Application of p...
متن کاملSupercloseness and superconvergence of stabilized low-order finite element discretizations of the Stokes Problem
The supercloseness and superconvergence property of stabilized finite element methods applied to the Stokes problem are studied. We consider consistent residual based stabilization methods as well as nonconsistent local projection type stabilizations. Moreover, we are able to show the supercloseness of the linear part of the MINI-element solution which has been previously observed in practical ...
متن کاملA computational study of stabilized, low-order C finite element approximations of Darcy equations
We consider finite element methods for the Darcy equations that are designed to work with standard, low order C finite element spaces. Such spaces remain a popular choice in the engineering practice because they offer the convenience of simple and uniform data structures and reasonable accuracy. A consistently stabilized method [20] and a least-squares formulation [18] are compared with two new...

متن کاملAnalysis of a Full Space–Time Discretization of the Navier–Stokes Equations by a Local Projection Stabilization Method
A finite element error analysis of a local projection stabilization (LPS) method for the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations is presented. The focus is on the high-order term-by-term stabilization method that has one level, in the sense that it is defined on a single mesh, and in which the projection-stabilized structure of standard LPS methods is replaced by an interpolation-stabilized stru...
