An Absolutely Stabilized Finite Element Method for the Stokes Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
An absolutely stabilized finite element formulation for the Stokes problem is presented in this paper. This new formulation, which is nonsymmetric but stable without employment of any stability constant, can be regarded as a modification of the formulation proposed recently by Hughes and Franca in [8]. Optimal error estimates in L2-norm for the new stabilized finite element approximation of both the velocity and the pressure fields are established, as well as one in H1-norm for the velocity field.

An Absolutely Stable Pressure-Poisson Stabilized Finite Element Method for the Stokes Equations
The pressure-Poisson stabilized Galerkin method for the Stokes equation requires the choice of a positive parameter. Existing theoretical predictions for the range of parameter values that yield stable discretizations seem to be very pessimistic when compared to the computational evidence. Motivated by this wide gap, we first examine a continuous prototype for this class of schemes. We show tha...
متن کاملNumerical Investigations on Several Stabilized Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Eigenvalue Problem
Several stabilized finite element methods for the Stokes eigenvalue problem based on the lowest equal-order finite element pair are numerically investigated. They are penalty, regular, multiscale enrichment, and local Gauss integration method. Comparisons between them are carried out, which show that the local Gauss integration method has good stability, efficiency, and accuracy properties, and...
متن کاملPostprocessing and Higher Order Convergence of Stabilized Finite Element Discretizations of the Stokes Eigenvalue Problem
In this paper, the stabilized finite element method based on local projection is applied to discretize the Stokes eigenvalue problems and the corresponding convergence analysis is given. Furthermore, we also use a method to improve the convergence rate for the eigenpair approximations of the Stokes eigenvalue problem. It is based on a postprocessing strategy that contains solving an additional ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Locally Stabilized Mixed Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Problem
In this paper, a locally stabilized finite element formulation of the Stokes problem is analyzed. A macroelement condition which is sufficient for the stability of (locally stabilized) mixed methods based on a piecewise constant pressure approximation is introduced. By satisfying this condition, the stability of the Q\Pq, quadrilateral, and the P\-Pq triangular element, can be established.
متن کاملOn the stability of bubble functions and a stabilized mixed finite element formulation for the Stokes problem
In this paper we investigate the relationship between stabilized and enriched finite element formulations for the Stokes problem. We also present a new stabilized mixed formulation for which the stability parameter is derived purely by the method of weighted residuals. This new formulation allows equal order interpolation for the velocity and pressure fields. Finally, we show by counterexample ...
