Stabilized Gauge Uzawa scheme for an incompressible micropolar fluid flow

Abstract

In this paper, a second order Gauge Uzawa scheme for the governing equations of an incompressible micropolar fluid flow is introduced and analyzed. The derivation of this scheme is obtained using the second order backward difference approximation. Later, the unconditional stability of the GUM scheme for the micropolar equations will be shown. Then, an a priori error estimate is established to prove the convergence. Finally, we present some numerical simulations that confirm the theoretical results.
