Un résultat de convergence d'ordre deux en temps pour l'approximation des équations de Navier–Stokes par une technique de projection incrémentale
The Navier–Stokes equations are approximated by means of a fractional step, Chorin–Temam projection method; the time derivative is approximated by a three-level backward finite difference, whereas the approximation in space is performed by a Galerkin technique. It is shown that the proposed scheme yields an error of for the velocity in the norm of l2(L2(Ω)d), where l ≥ 1 is the polynomial degree of the velocity approximation. It is also shown that the splitting error of projection schemes based...
