In this article, we propose a mixed variational formulation for the streamfunction vorticity potential form for the two-layer quasi-geostrophic model of the ocean. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the mixed variational problem.

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 s
The paper compares two dierent two-grid ยฎnite element formulations applied to the NavierยฑStokes equations, namely a multigrid and a mixed or composite formulation. In the latter case the pressure is interpolated on a coarser grid than the velocity, using mixed elements instead of mixed interpolation
