This article derives a general superconvergence result for nonconforming finite element approximations of the Stokes problem by using a least-squares surface fitting method proposed and analyzed recently by Wang for the standard Galerkin method. The superconvergence result is based on some regularit

β¦ Synopsis
In this article, we analyze the local superconvergence property of the streamline-diffusion finiteelement method (SDFEM) for scalar convection-diffusion problems with dominant convection. By orienting the mesh in the streamline direction and imposing a uniformity condition on the mesh, the theoretical order of pointwise convergence is increased from O(h"'*llog 111) to O(h'1log 111). Numerical tests show that this result cannot be extended to arbitrary quasi-uniform meshes. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
