INERTIAL ALGORITHMS FOR THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

Several kind of new numerical schemes for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations based on the virtue of Inertial Manifold and Approximate Inertial Manifold, which we call them inertial algorithms in this paper, together with their error estimations are presented. All these algorithms are constructed under an uniform frame, that is to construct some kind of new projections for the Sobolev space in which the true solution is sought. It is shown that the proposed inertial algorithms can greatly improve the convergence rate of the standard Galerkin approximate solution with lower computing effort. And some numerical examples are also given to verify results of this paper.

A nonlinear Galerkin mixed element (NGME) method and a posteriori error exstimator based on the method are established for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. The existence and error estimates of the NGME solution are first discussed, and then a posteriori error estimator based on the NGME method is derived.

A NEW NONCONFORMING MIXED FINITE ELEMENT SCHEME FOR THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this article, a new stable nonconforming mixed finite element scheme is proposed for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, in which a new low order Crouzeix- Raviart type nonconforming rectangular element is taken for approximating space for the velocity and the piecewise constant element for the pressure. The optimal order error estimates for the approximation of both the velocity and the pressure in L2-norm are established, as well as one in broken H1-norm for the velocity. Numerical experiments are given which are consistent with our theoretical analysis.

A streamline diffusion nonconforming finite element method for the time-dependent linearized Navier-Stokes equations

A nonconforming finite element method of finite difference streamline diffusion type is proposed to solve the time-dependent linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The backward Euler scheme is used for time discretization. Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming finite element approximation, namely, nonconforming （P1）2 - P0 element, is used for the velocity and pressure fields with the streamline diffusion technique to cope with usual instabilities caused by the convection and time terms. Stability and error estimates are derived with suitable norms.

A STABILIZED CRANK-NICOLSON MIXED FINITE VOLUME ELEMENT FORMULATION FOR THE NON-STATIONARY PARABOLIZED NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

A time semi-discrete Crank-Nicolson （CN） formulation with second-order time accuracy for the non-stationary parabolized Navier-Stokes equations is firstly established. And then, a fully discrete stabilized CN mixed finite volume element （SCNMFVE） formu- lation based on two local Gaussian integrals and parameter-free with the second-order time accuracy is established directly from the time semi-discrete CN formulation so that it could avoid the discussion for semi-discrete SCNMFVE formulation with respect to spatial wriables and its theoretical analysis becomes very simple. Finally, the error estimates of SCNMFVE solutions are provided.

The velocity and pressure are approximated by the nonconforming constrained Q1^4ot element and the piecewise constant, respectively. The superconvergent error estimates of the velocity in the broken H^1-norm and the pressure in the L^2-norm are obtained respectively when the exact solutions are reasonably smooth.

A NONLINEAR GALERKIN/PETROV-LEAST SQUARES MIXED ELEMENT METHOD FOR THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

A nonlinear Galerkin/Petrov-least squares mixed element (NGPLSME) method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations is presented and analyzed. The scheme is that Petrov-least squares forms of residuals are added to the nonlinear Galerkin mixed element method so that it is stable for any combination of discrete velocity and pressure spaces without requiring the Babu*lka-Brezzi stability condition. The existence, uniqueness and convergence (at optimal rate) of the NGPLSME solution is proved in the case of sufficient viscosity (or small data).

RESIDUAL A POSTERIORI ERROR ESTIMATE OF A NEW TWO-LEVEL METHOD FOR STEADY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

Residual-based a posteriori error estimate for conforming finite element solutions of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, which is computed with a new two-level method that is different from Volker John, is derived. A posteriori error estimate contains additional terms in comparison to the estimate for the solution obtained by the standard finite element method. The importance of the additional terms in the error estimates is investigated by studying their asymptotic behavior. For optimal scaled meshes, these bounds are not of higher order than the convergence of discrete solution. The two-level method aims to solve the nonlinear problem on a coarse grid with less computational work, then to solve the linear problem on a fine grid, which is superior to the usual finite element method solving a similar nonlinear problem on the fine grid.

UNCONDITIONALLY OPTIMAL ERROR ESTIMATES OF THE BILINEAR-CONSTANT SCHEME FOR TIME-DEPENDENT NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this paper,the unconditional error estimates are presented for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations by the bilinear-constant scheme.The corresponding optimal error estimates for the velocity and the pressure are derived unconditionally,while the previous works require certain time-step restrictions.The analysis is based on an iterated time-discrete system,with which the error function is split into a temporal error and a spatial error.The τ-independent(τ is the time stepsize)error estimate between the numerical solution and the solution of the time-discrete system is proven by a rigorous analysis,which implies that the numerical solution in L^(∞)-norm is bounded.Thus optimal error estimates can be obtained in a traditional way.Numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Analysis of a class of globally divergence-free HDG methods for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper,we analyze a class of globally divergence-free(and therefore pressure-robust)hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin(HDG)finite element methods for stationary Navier-Stokes equations.The methods use the P_(k)/P_(k-1)(k≥1)discontinuous finite element combination for the velocity and pressure approximations in the interior of elements,piecewise Pm(m=k,k-1)for the velocity gradient approximation in the interior of elements,and piecewise P_(k)/P_(k) for the trace approximations of the velocity and pressure on the inter-element boundaries.We show that the uniqueness condition for the discrete solution is guaranteed by that for the continuous solution together with a sufficiently small mesh size.Based on the derived discrete HDG Sobolev embedding properties,optimal error estimates are obtained.Numerical experiments are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.

Residual based on a posteriori error estimates for conforming finite element solutions of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with stream function form which were computed with seven recently proposed two-level method were derived. The posteriori error estimates contained additional terms in comparison to the error estimates for the solution obtained by the standard finite element method. The importance of these additional terms in the error estimates was investigated by studying their asymptotic behavior. For optimal scaled meshes, these bounds are not of higher order than of convergence of discrete solution.
