A splitting method using discontinuous Galerkin for the transient incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Similarity:

In this paper we solve the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by splitting the non-linearity and incompressibility, and using discontinuous or continuous finite element methods in space. We prove optimal error estimates for the velocity and suboptimal estimates for the pressure. We present some numerical experiments.

Convergence of a finite element discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation

Mohamed Amara, Christine Bernardi (2010)

Similarity:

The standard discretization of the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation by affine finite elements is known for its bad convergence. We present here a modified discretization, we prove that the convergence is improved and we establish error estimates.
