✦ Synopsis
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 functions. In the multigrid formulation an equal-order interpolation is used on the same elements. A pressure Poisson formulation is used in both cases. Computational results are presented to compare the methods and comparisons are also made with other results.

An algorithm based on the finite element modified method of characteristics (FEMMC) is presented to solve convection-diffusion, Burgers and unsteady incompressible Navier -Stokes equations for laminar flow.

The accuracy of colocated finite volume schemes for the incompressible Navier -Stokes equations on non-smooth curvilinear grids is investigated. A frequently used scheme is found to be quite inaccurate on non-smooth grids. In an attempt to improve the accuracy on such grids, three other schemes are
Our work is an extension of the previously proposed multivariant element. We assign this re®ned element as a compact mixed-order element in the sense that use of this element offers a much smaller bandwidth. The analysis is implemented on quadratic hexahedral elements with a view to analysing a thre
We study if the multilevel algorithm introduced in Debussche et al. (Theor. Comput. Fluid Dynam., 7, 279±315 (1995)) and Dubois et al. (J. Sci. Comp., 8, 167±194 (1993)) for the 2D Navier±Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions and spectral discretization can be generalized to more genera
