Projection stabilized nonconforming finite element methods for the stokes problem

Abstract

In this article we study a projection‐stabilized nonconforming finite element discretization of the Stokes problem. We present a priori error analysis and give a recovery‐based a posteriori error estimator for the considered problem. Numerical results illustrate the theoretical performance of the error estimator. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 33: 218–240, 2017
