A new finite element formulation for computational fluid dynamics. VII. The Stokes problem with various well-posed boundary conditions: Symmetric formulations that converge for all velocity/pressure spaces. (English) Zbl 0635.76067

[For part VI see the review above (Zbl 0635.76066).]
Symmetric finite element formulations are proposed for the primitive- variables form of the Stokes equations and shown to be convergent for any combination of pressure and velocity interpolations. Various boundary conditions, such as pressure, are accomodated.
