✦ Synopsis

Two methods are presented for connecting dissimilar three-dimensional ΓΏnite element meshes. The ΓΏrst method combines the concept of master and slave surfaces with the uniform strain approach for ΓΏnite elements. By modifying the boundaries of elements on a slave surface, corrections are made to element formulations such that ΓΏrst-order patch tests are passed. The second method is based entirely on constraint equations, but only passes a weaker form of the patch test for non-planar surfaces. Both methods can be used to connect meshes with di erent element types. In addition, master and slave surfaces can be designated independently of relative mesh resolutions. Example problems in three-dimensional linear elasticity are presented.

The article treats the question of how to numerically solve the Dirichlet problem for the Stokes system in the exterior of a three-dimensional bounded Lipschitz domain. In a first step, the solution of this problem is approximated by functions solving the Stokes system in a truncated domain and sati
