A characterization theorem for moments of the Stokes traction field on the bounding surface of a three-dimensional flow domain is stated and proved. Whereas the single-layer Stokes potentials lead to ...
Finite Element Methods (FEM) have emerged as a pivotal computational tool in the simulation of incompressible flows and the Navier-Stokes equations. By discretising the domain, these techniques offer ...
We provide an a priori error analysis of a wide class of finite element methods for the Stokes equations. The methods are based on the velocity gradient-velocity ...
