Least-squares formulations for Stokes equations with non-standard boundary conditions – A unified approach
share
In this paper, we propose a unified non-conforming least-squares spectral element approach for solving Stokes equations with various non-standard boundary conditions. Existing least-squares formulations mostly deal with Dirichlet boundary conditions are formulated using ADN theory-based regularity estimates. However, changing boundary conditions lead to a search for parameters satisfying supplementing and complimenting conditions [4] which is not easy always. Here we have avoided ADN theory-based regularity estimates and proposed a unified approach for dealing with various boundary conditions. Stability estimates and error estimates have been discussed. Numerical results displaying exponential accuracy have been presented for both two and three-dimensional cases with various boundary conditions.
