A combined finite element scheme with a pressure stabilization and a characteristic-curve method for the Navier-Stokes equations(Theory,Scientific Computation and Numerical Analysis,<Special Issue>Joint Symposium of JSIAM Activity Groups 2008)

Abstract

A combined finite element scheme with a pressure stabilization and a characteristic-curve method of first order in time increment is presented for the Navier-Stokes equations. We use P1/P1 element and the resulting linear system is symmetric. Numerical results in two and three dimensional problems are presented.
