✦ Synopsis
A Galerkin finite element method is considered to approximate the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations together with iterative methods to solve a resulting system of algebraic equations. This system couples velocity and pressure unknowns, thus requiring a special technique for handling. We consider the Navier-Stokes equations in velocity-kinematic pressure variables as well as in velocity--Bernoulli pressure variables. The latter leads to the rotation form of nonlinear terms. This form of the equations plays an important role in our studies. A consistent stabilization method is considered from a new view point. Theory and numerical results in the paper address both the accuracy of the discrete solutions and the effectiveness of solvers and a mutual interplay between these issues when particular stabilization techniques are applied.

## Abstract This paper proposes and investigates fully coupled control‐volume finite element method (CVFEM) for solving the two‐dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The proposed method borrows many of its features from the segregated CVFEM described by Baliga __et al.__ Thus finite‐v
In a previous paper we have developed a staggered compact finite difference method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper we will extend this method to the case of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In an incompressible flow conservation of mass is ensured by the well known
## Abstract An iterative method for numerically solving the time independent Navier–Stokes equations for viscous compressible flows is presented. The method is based upon partial application of the Gauss–Seidel principle in block form to the systems of the non‐linear algebraic equations which arise
