Abstract

In this paper, we construct a spectral-finite element scheme for solving semi-periodical two-dimensional vorticity equations. The error between the genuine solution and approximate solution is estimated strictly. The numerical results show the advantages of such a method. The technique used in this paper can be easily generalized to three-dimensional problems.
