摘要

Incompressible flows are modeled by a coupled system of partial differential equations for velocity and pressure. Starting from a divergence-free mixed method proposed in [John, Li, Merdon and Rui, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 34(05):919–949, 2024], this paper proposes \(\varvec{H}(\textrm{div})\) H ( div ) -conforming finite element methods which decouple the velocity and pressure by constructing divergence-free basis functions. The methods are derived and analyzed for the Stokes problem. Algorithmic issues like the computation of this basis and the imposition of non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions are discussed. Numerical studies on two- and three-dimensional Stokes problems compare the efficiency of the proposed methods with methods from the above mentioned paper.
