Abstract:

In this paper, a low order Crouzeix-Raviart type nonconforming triangular element is applied to the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equations. The approximation scheme of the lumped mass finite element methods for the problem is proposed. Without using Ritz-Volterra projection, the error estimates are derived both in the L2-norm and the energy norm for velocity and the L2-norm for pressure on anisotropic meshes through the technique of introducing two auxiliary finite element spaces to the boundary estimate.

Key words: Navier-Stokes equations, Lumped mass, Anisotropic meshes, Nonconforming finite element, Error estimate
