The Lowest-Order Stabilized Virtual Element Method for the Evolutionary Navier-Stokes Equations with Small Viscosity
摘要
In this work, starting from the lowest-order velocity-pressure pairs, we propose a stabilized virtual element scheme for solving the evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations. Its main idea is to rewrite a modified continuity equation (the modification refers to the addition of pressure jump/projection stabilization induced by the instability of a space pair) in a standard way involving an enriched divergence-free velocity field. This different velocity field is then fed back to the momentum equation, which allows fewer extra stabilized terms to control the dominating convection. Meanwhile, we provide the error estimates for the velocity and pressure with constants independent of any negative powers of viscosity
