Description: Title: A stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin method for the simulation of turbulent flows.

Abstract: We present stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin method to integrate the incompressible Navier Stokes equations at high Reynolds numbers. The stabilization of the conventional Lagrange-Galekin method is done via a local projection technique for inf-sup stable finite elements. We prove that the stabilized method has the same accuracy as the standard one. The numerical results shows that our method is stable and can predict the behavior of high Reynolds flows.
