Abstract
This paper deals with maximum norm error estimates of conforming finite element approximate solutions for the stationary and nonstationary Navier-Stokes problems in a plane bounded domain, using the so-called velocity-pressure mixed variational formulation. Quasi-optimal maximum norm error estimates of the velocity and its first derivatives, and the pressure are obtained for conforming finite element approximations of the stationary Navier-Stokes problem by some estimates of the Green function and their finite element approximations for Stokes problem. Moreover, with the method of Navier-Stokes projection, quasi-optimal maximum norm error estimate results are shown for semidiscrete conforming finite element approximations of the nonstationary Navier-Stokes problem.
