Abstract:

In this paper, we apply the constrained nonconforming rotated Q1 element and the piecewise constant element to approximate the velocity and the pressure for the stationary、impressible Stokes equations with damped term, respectively. The existence and uniqueness of the approximated solutions are proved. Employing the prior estimates of the exact and approximate solutions and choosing the appropriate parameters α, ν and r, the optimal error estimates and the superclose results are derived. Finally, the O(h2) order global superconvergence in H1-norm for the velocity and L2-norm for the pressure is obtained by use of a postprocessing technique.

Key words: Stokes equations, Damped term, Nonconforming mixed elements,  Superclose and superconvergence,  Optimal error estimates
