Local behaviors near boundary are analyzed for solutions of the Stokes and Navier-Stoke equations in the half space with localized non-smooth boundary data. We construct solutions of Stokes equations whose velocity field is not bounded near…
We propose two Hybrid High-Order (HHO) methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and investigate their robustness with respect to the Reynolds number. While both methods rely on a HHO formulation of the viscous term, the…
Based on the Stokes complex with vanishing boundary conditions and its dual complex, we reinterpret a grad-curl problem arising from the quad-curl problem as a new vector potential formulation of the three-dimensional Stokes system. By…
In this paper, we first construct a nonconforming finite element pair for the incompressible Stokes problem on quadrilateral grids, and then construct a discrete Stokes complex associated with that finite element pair. The finite element…
We identify a norm on the pressure variable in the Stokes equation that allows us to prove a continuous inf-sup condition with a constant independent of the domain's aspect ratio. This is in contrast to the standard inf-sup constant, which…
The Crouzeix-Raviart triangular finite elements are $\inf$-$\sup$ stable for the Stokes equations for any mesh with at least one interior vertex. This result affirms a {\em conjecture of Crouzeix-Falk} from 1989 for $p=3$. Our proof applies…
