✦ Synopsis


We analyze a two-level method of discretizing the stream function form of the Navier-Stokes equations. This report presents the two-level algorithm and error analysis for the case of conforming eltements. The two-level algorithm consists of solving a small nonlinear system on the coarse mesh, then solving a linear system on the fine mesh. The basic result states that the error between the coarse and fine meshes are related superlinearly via:

As an example, if the Clough-Tocher triangles or the Bogner-Fox-Schmit rectangles are used, then the coarse aJld fine meshes are related by h = O(H3/211nHI1/4 ).

## Abstract The __r__‐Laplacian has played an important role in the development of computationally efficient models for applications, such as numerical simulation of turbulent flows. In this article, we examine two‐level finite element approximation schemes applied to the Navier‐Stokes equations wi
