We consider two-grid mixed-finite element schemes for the spatial discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A standard mixed-finite element method is applied over the coarse grid to approximate the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations while a linear evolutionary problem is solved over the fine grid. The previously computed Galerkin approximation to the velocity is used to linea...

We present finite volume schemes for Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. These schemes are based on the mixed finite volume introduced in [6], and can be applied to any type of grid (without “orthogonality” assumptions as for classical finite volume methods) and in any space dimension. We present numerical results on some irregular grids, and we prove, for both Stokes and Navier-Stokes equation...

This paper introduces two stabilization schemes for the Least Squares Commutator (LSC) preconditioner developed by Elman, Howle, Shadid, Shuttleworth and Tuminaro [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 27, 2006, pp. 1651–1668] for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. This preconditioning methodology is one of several choices that are effective for Navier-Stokes equations, and it has the advantage of bei...

We establish a connection between the strong solution to the spatially periodic Navier–Stokes equations and a solution to a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a flat torus. We construct representations of the strong solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in terms of diffusion processes.

On regularity of stationary Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations near boundary KYUNGKEUN KANG Received: date / Revised version: date – c Springer-Verlag 2001 Abstract. We obtain local estimates of the steady-state Stokes system “without pressure” near boundary. As an application of the local estimates, we prove the partial regularity up to the boundary for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations i...

Following earlier work for Stokes equations, a least-squares functional is developed for twoand three-dimensional Oseen equations. By introducing a velocity flux variable and associated curl and trace equations, ellipticity is established in an appropriate product norm. The form of Oseen equations examined here is obtained by linearizing the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. An algorithm ...

A coupled Legendre-Laguerre spectral element method is proposed for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains. The method combines advantages of the high accuracy of the Laguerre-spectral method for unbounded domains and the geometric flexibility of the spectral-element method. Rigorous stability and error analysis for the Stokes problem is carried out. Numerical results indic...

Recently, the Navier-Stokes-Voight (NSV) model of viscoelastic incompressible fluid has been proposed as a regularization of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for the purpose of direct numerical simulations. In this work we prove that the global attractor of the 3D NSV equations, driven by an analytic forcing, consists of analytic functions. A consequence of this result is that the spectrum of the...

In this paper, we present first-, second-, and third-order implicit finite-volume schemes for solving the Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured grids based on a hyperbolic formulation of the viscous terms. These schemes are first-, second-, and third-order accurate on irregular grids for both the inviscid and viscous terms and for all Reynolds numbers, not only in the primitive variables but ...

The numerical implementation of a multilevel finite element method for the steadystate Navier–Stokes equations is considered. The multilevel method proposed here for the Navier– Stokes equations is a multiscale method in which the full nonlinear Navier–Stokes equations are only solved on a single coarse grid; subsequent approximations are generated on a succession of refined grids by solving a ...
