Two-Level Stabilized Finite Volume Methods for the Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations

In this work,two-level stabilized finite volume formulations for the 2D steady Navier-Stokes equations are considered.These methods are based on the local Gauss integration technique and the lowest equal-order finite element pair.Moreover,the two-level stabilized finite volume methods involve solving one small NavierStokes problem on a coarse mesh with mesh size H,a large general Stokes problem for the Simple and Oseen two-level stabilized finite volume methods on the fine mesh with mesh size h=O(H^(2))or a large general Stokes equations for the Newton two-level stabilized finite volume method on a fine mesh with mesh size h=O(|logh|^(1/2)H^(3)).These methods we studied provide an approximate solution(ue v h,pe v h)with the convergence rate of same order as the standard stabilized finite volume method,which involve solving one large nonlinear problem on a fine mesh with mesh size h.Hence,our methods can save a large amount of computational time.
