New stabilized $P_1\times P_0$ finite element methods for nearly inviscid and incompressible flows (2109.04013v2)
Published 9 Sep 2021 in math.NA and cs.NA
Abstract: This work proposes a new stabilized $P_1\times P_0$ finite element method for solving the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a reduced Bernardi--Raugel element with statically condensed face bubbles and is pressure-robust in the small viscosity regime. For the Stokes problem, an error estimate uniform with respect to the kinematic viscosity is shown. For the Navier--Stokes equation, the nonlinear convection term is discretized using an edge-averaged finite element method. In comparison with classical schemes, the proposed method does not require tuning of parameters and is validated for competitiveness on several benchmark problems in 2 and 3 dimensional space.
