A new formulation of the Stokes problem in a cylinder, and its spectral discretization

Nehla Abdellatif, Christine Bernardi (2010)

Similarity:

We analyze a new formulation of the Stokes equations in three-dimensional axisymmetric geometries, relying on Fourier expansion with respect to the angular variable: the problem for each Fourier coefficient is two-dimensional and has six scalar unknowns, corresponding to the vector potential and the vorticity. A spectral discretization is built on this formulation, which leads to an exactly divergence-free discrete velocity. We prove optimal error estimates.

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

Vivette Girault, Béatrice Rivière, Mary F. Wheeler (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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.
