Burman, Erik; Fernández, Miguel A.; Hansbo, Peter Continuous interior penalty finite element method for Oseen’s equations. (English) Zbl 1344.76049 SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 44, No. 3, 1248-1274 (2006). Summary: We present an extension of the continuous interior penalty method of J. Douglas jun. and T. Dupont [Interior penalty procedures for elliptic and parabolic Galerkin methods. Lect. Notes Phys. 58, 207–216 (1976; doi:10.1007/BFb0120591)] to Oseen’s equations. The method consists of a stabilized Galerkin formulation using equal order interpolation for pressure and velocity. To counter instabilities due to the pressure/velocity coupling, or due to a high local Reynolds number, we add a stabilization term giving \(L^2\)-control of the jump of the gradient over element faces (edges in two dimensions) to the standard Galerkin formulation. Boundary conditions are imposed in a weak sense using a consistent penalty formulation due to Nitsche. We prove energy-type a priori error estimates independent of the local Reynolds number and give some numerical examples recovering the theoretical results.
