A discontinuous Galerkin method with nonoverlapping domain decomposition for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems. (English)
[J] Math. Comput. 74, No. 249, 53-84 (2005). ISSN 0025-5718; ISSN 1088-6842/e

Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations are considered in this paper especially from the numerical point of view. Numerical analysis of a discontinuous Galerkin method with nonoverlapping domain decomposition for steady incompressible Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems is investigated. As a discretization a conforming triangular finite element mesh is used in each subdomain. In each triangle the discretization velocity is a polynomial of degree $k,$ $\ k=1,\ 2 \text { or } 3$, while the discretized pressure is of degree $k-1$. The variational formulation of the problem contains also a jump term on all triangle interfaces due to the domain decomposition method. An inf-sup condition is proved under some hypothesis for the domain decomposition with non-matching grids. Optimal a priori error estimates in the energy norm for the velocity field and the $L_2$ norm for the pressure are derived first for Stokes and then also for Navier-Stokes problems.
