✦ Synopsis
A three-field finite element scheme for the explicit iterative solution of the stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is studied. In linearized form the scheme is associated with a generalized time-dependent Stokes system discretized in time. The resulting system of equations allows for a stable approximation of velocity, pressure and stress deviator tensor, by means of continuous piecewise linear finite elements, in both two-and three-dimensional space. Convergence in an appropriate sense applying to this finite element discretization is demonstrated, for the stationary Stokes system.

The paper compares two dierent two-grid ®nite element formulations applied to the Navier±Stokes 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
