✦ Synopsis

The least-squares mixed ®nite element method is concisely described and supporting error estimates and computational results for linear elliptic (steady diffusion) problems are brie¯y summarized. The extension to the stationary Navier±Stokes problems for Newtonian, generalized Newtonian and viscoelastic ¯uids is then considered. Results of numerical studies are presented for the driven cavity problem and for a stick±slip problem.

In this study we consider parallel conjugate gradient solution of sparse systems arising from the least-squares mixed finite element method. Of particular interest are transport problems involving convection. The least-squares approach leads to a symmetric positive system and the conjugate gradient

A least-squares approach is presented for implementing uniform strain triangular and tetrahedral ÿnite elements. The basis for the method is a weighted least-squares formulation in which a linear displacement ÿeld is ÿt to an element's nodal displacements. By including a greater number of nodes on t
