H(curl)-based approximation of the Stokes problem with slip boundary conditions
H(curl)-based approximation of the Stokes problem with slip boundary conditions
The equations governing incompressible Stokes flow are reformulated such that the velocity is sought in the space H(curl). This relaxed regularity assumption leads to conforming finite element methods using spaces common to discretizations of Maxwell’s equations. A drawback of this approach, however…
