چکیده

The standard discretization of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes équations in vorticity and stream function formulation by affine finite éléments is known for its bad convergence. We present here a modified discretization, we prove that the convergence is improved and we establish a priori error estimâtes. Résumé. Il est bien connu que la discrétisation usuelle des équations de Stokes et de Navier-Stokes en formulation tourbillon et fonction courant par éléments finis affines converge mal. Nous présentons ici une discrétisation modifiée dont nous prouvons la meilleure convergence et nous établissons des majorations d'erreur a priori. AMS Subject Classification. 65N30.

A Stabilized Finite Element Method for Stream Function Vorticity Formulation of Navier-stokes Equations

We the solvability of the two-dimensional stream function-vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. We use the time discretization and the method of characteristics order one for solving a quasi-Stokes system that we discretize by a piecewise continuous finite element method. A stabilization technique is used to overcome the loss of optimal error estimate. Finally a parallel numeric...

A comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...

The finite element solution of a generalized Stokes system in terms of the flow variables stream function and vorticity is studied. This system results from a time discretization of the time-dependent Stokes system in stream function-vorticity formulation, or yet by the application of the characteristics method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the same representation. Numerical results p...
