A Proof of the Inf-sup Condition for the Stokes Equations on Lipschitz Domains
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present a rather simple proof of an inequality of Nečas [9] which is equivalent to the inf-sup condition. This inequality is fundamental in the study of the Stokes equations. The boundary of the domain is only assumed to be Lipschitz.

A spectral method for the Stokes problem in three-dimensional unbounded domains
We present a method for solving the Stokes problem in unbounded domains. It relies on the coupling of the transparent boundary operator and a spectral method in spherical coordinates. It is done explicitly by the use of vector-valued spherical harmonics. A uniform inf-sup condition is proved, which provides an optimal error estimate.
متن کاملMaximum-norm stability of the finite element Stokes projection
We prove stability of the finite element Stokes projection in the product space W 1,∞(Ω) × L∞(Ω), i.e., the maximum norm of the discrete velocity gradient and discrete pressure are bounded by the sum of the corresponding exact counterparts, independently of the mesh-size. The proof relies on weighted L estimates for regularized Green’s functions associated with the Stokes problem and on a weigh...
متن کاملA Generalized MAC Scheme on Curvilinear Domains
We propose a simple finite difference scheme for Navier–Stokes equations in primitive formulation on curvilinear domains. With proper boundary treatment and interplay between covariant and contravariant components, the spatial discretization admits exact Hodge decomposition and energy identity. As a result, the pressure can be decoupled from the momentum equation with explicit time stepping. No...
متن کاملSpectral methods in polar coordinates for the Stokes problem. Application to computation in unbounded domains
We present spectral methods for solving the Stokes problem in a circular domain. Their main feature is the uniform inf-sup condition, which allows for optimal error estimates. We apply them to the resolution of exterior problems by coupling with the transparent boundary condition.
متن کاملOn Incompressible Navier-stokes Dynamics: a New Approach for Analysis and Computation
We show that in bounded domains with no-slip boundary conditions, the Navier-Stokes pressure can be determined in a such way that it is strictly dominated by viscosity. As a consequence, in a general domain we can treat the Navier-Stokes equations as a perturbed vector diffusion equation, instead of as a perturbed Stokes system. To illustrate the advantages of this view, we provide a simple pro...
