| Place: | Milner 317 |
A new family of finite element methods for incompressible flow problems is presented. The velocity and pressure spaces are chosen such that weak, discrete incompressibility implies strong incompressibility. The method is not H1-conforming, but consistency can be achieved through techniques known from discontinuous Galerkin methods. The a priori and a posteriori error analysis for this method are presented. Their relation to the widely used MAC scheme and applications will be discussed.
