Abstract/Summary:
This paper studies two artificial viscosity methods for approximating solutions to the Navier-Stokes Equations. Both methods that are introduced add stabilization, then remove it only on a coarse mesh. Both methods can be considered as conforming, mixed methods for (1) velocity and its gradient, and (2) velocity and vorticity. Herein we rigorously study the schemes both analytically and computationally, showing that both methods are unconditionally stable and optimally convergent. Numerical experiments show both methods provide improved results over the unstabilized Navier-Stokes Equations.
