## Abstract We present a new variational formulation of Stokes problem of fluid mechanics that allows to take into account very general boundary conditions for velocity, tangential vorticity or pressure. This formulation conducts a well posed mathematical problem in a family of particular cases. Co

✦ Synopsis
We work on a vorticity, velocity and pressure formulation of the bidimensional Stokes problem for incompressible fluids. In previous papers, the authors have developed a natural implementation of this scheme. We have then observed that, in case of unstructured meshes with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the velocity, the convergence is not optimal. In this paper, we propose to add ''bubble'' velocity functions with compact support along the boundary to improve convergence. We then prove a convergence theorem and illustrate by numerical results better behaviour of the scheme in general cases.

We study the Stokes problem of incompressible fluid dynamics in two and three-dimension spaces, for general bounded domains with smooth boundary. We use the vorticity-velocity-pressure formulation and introduce a new Hilbert space for the vorticity. We develop an abstract mixed formulation that give
## Communicated by J. C. Nedelec This work studies the three-dimensional Stokes problem expressed in terms of vorticity and velocity variables. We make general assumptions on the regularity and the topological structure of the flow domain: the boundary is Lipschitz and possibly non-connected and t
