Recent analysis of the divergence constraint in the incompressible Stokes/Navier--Stokes problem has stressed the importance of equivalence classes of forces and how it plays a fundamental role for an accurate space discretization. Two…
Pressure-robust discretizations for incompressible flows have been in the focus of research for the past years. Many publications construct exactly divergence-free methods or use a reconstruction approach [13] for existing methods like the…
